Welcome to Charlotte, North Carolina, the Queen City. On this driving tour, you’ll explore the heart of Charlotte and learn how this crossroads town grew into one of the South’s fastest-growing cities. The name Queen City comes from Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the wife of King George III of England. But despite that royal connection, Charlotte has always had a rebellious streak. During the Revolutionary War, locals resisted the British so fiercely that General Cornwallis called Charlotte a “hornet’s nest of rebellion.” That spirit is still part of the city’s identity today. As we drive, you’ll hear us refer to this area inside the I-277 beltway as Uptown Charlotte. Most cities have a “downtown,” but Charlotte is different. In the city’s early days, the intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets sat on the highest point of land in the area. People said they were going “up to town” when they headed here, and that phrase never disappeared. By the 1980s, “Uptown” was officially adopted as the name. So here, you don’t go downtown — you go Uptown. Today, Charlotte is known as America’s second-largest banking center, home to Bank of America and Truist, and as the capital of NASCAR, with most of the sport’s teams based nearby. But you’ll also find world-class museums, historic neighborhoods, vibrant parks, and a skyline that reflects the city’s growth and ambition. Over the course of this tour, we’ll highlight Charlotte’s landmarks, share its history, and point out some fun surprises along the way. Our route starts right here with a tribute to Charlotte’s need for speed — the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
