The area once known as Albemarle is today which state?
- South Carolina

- North Carolina
Reveal answer
Answer: North Carolina
Source evidence
PDF page 213: 5.3 thE CarOlInaS Geography played a major role in the development pattern of the Carolinas. The area once known as Albemarle, which today is North Carolina, was not attractive to English colonists. It had a difficult coastal region featuring large swamps and marshlands and lacking natural harbors and rivers providing access to the interior, such as were found in Virginia and further south. Some Virginians did move south into the area, but more to escape society in Virginia where they were viewed as landless misfits than to make a colony in Carolina.
