Exploration and colonization of the Cape Fear
area was a slow, haphazard affair. One hundred years after
the establishment of Jamestown, Virginia, there still wasn't
any activity to speak of in this part of North Carolina. It
seems that even most of the area's friendly Indians had died
out by the early 18th Century, probably as a result of European
diseases. About the only people who made use of the place
were the pirates who infested North Carolina waters.
Some did see potential in the area. As early as 1524, Giovani
de Verrazzano returned a favorable report of the area to the
King of France. Several attempts at settlement were made by
the English and Spanish, but all ended in failure. Not till
1726 was a town established.
