Abstract:

The city of Charlotte is placing historical markers along Trade and Tryon streets. Plans currently include placing sixteen markers in Charlotte. The historical markers cite events in Charlotte's history, such as when President George Washington stayed at the Cook's Inn on May 28, 1791, or important landmarks, such as the site of Charlotte's first city hall. The Trade and Tryon section of Charlotte is the site of a new pedestrian mall built to encourage downtown business and tourism.
