Agriculture has been a principal component of North Carolina’s economy and culture throughout its history. For centuries before European settlement, the region’s Native Americans had cultivated a variety of crops, such as corn, sunflowers, squash, pumpkins, and beans. Over time Indians situated their communities near rivers and streams to take advantage of the fertile soil, and many native cultural traditions grew out of the seasonal rhythms associated with agriculture.Reference Type
