Stanley, Hugh P.

Abstract:

Terra Ceia, which means “heavenly earth,” is located near Washington, N.C. The community originated in the 1920s, when a New York investment company recruited thirty-five Dutch families to settle there and develop the area as farmland. Stanley traces the history of the community, emphasizing its prominence in the tulip growing business.
