The early province of Carolana was the land forming the southern English colonies, spanning from 31° to 36° north latitude.[1] In 1629, King Charles I of England granted the territory to his attorney general Sir Robert Heath.[2] The original charter claimed the land from Albemarle Sound in present-day North Carolina, to the St. Johns River in the south, just miles below the current Florida-Georgia state line.[3] The region as a whole comprised all or parts of the modern-day states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.[4] Charles I named the colony for himself, the name Carolana being derived from Carolus, the Latin form of Charles.[3]
