Though it lost out to Virginia in being the first settled British colony, North Carolina nevertheless was at the forefront of the United States' development, as settlers quickly moved into North Carolina from Virginia and Pennsylvania early in the colony's history. That distinction gave North Carolina a significant advantage over other Southern states, especially in the area of higher education; with the first public university, and numerous top-tier public and private research institutions, North Carolina was perfectly prepared for the changes of the Industrial Revolution, and the 20th century. The Research Triangle - a perfect confluence of three world-class research universities within miles of one another - became the center of the nation's first tech hub, and the recent growth propelling Charlotte from a regional city to an international one has shown that North Carolina will not be left behind by the 21st century.
"North Carolina has established a public higher education system that only a few states can rival," writes Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris, in the company of New York, California, and Texas. In fact, "North Carolina's top-ranked public institutions could easily fill out a top 10 just on their own," from the University of North Carolina, "one of the two schools that identify as the first public university in the US," to some of the top-ranked regional universities in the nation.
