Abstract:

Ulricksburgh, a 36-square mile city chartered by North Carolina legislature in 1748, was the largest city thus far in the country. Founded by Ulrick Crowder, the city was lost or misplaced until 1967 when Alan Stout found a copy of Crowder's land grant and pieced together what happened to the man and his land.\r\n
