Abstract:

Many important events happened in North Carolina during December that were important in the forward progress of the state or were conclusions of projects earlier begun. Among the events are the naming of Philip Ludwell as North Carolina's first governor on December 5, 1689; the arrival of General Nathaniel Greene in Charlotte on December 2, 1780, to take charge of demoralized and defeated Revolutionary War soldiers; and the bombardment of Fort Fisher near Wilmington on December 25, 1864, during the Civil War.
