Abstract:
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad’s history included its merger in 1870, joining the Eastern North Carolina Dispatch in 1877, the election of James A. Bryan as company president in 1899, its renaming to the Atlantic and North Carolina Company by Richard S. Howland; and Howland’s consolidation of the Atlantic and North Carolina Company with five other railroad companies. The author coincides the multi-railroad company merger with railroads ceding to ships as a major transporting source by the early twentieth century.
