100 Events That Shaped the Queen City

The great city that Croixstone Consulting calls home just celebrated its 250th anniversary. Founded in honor of Her Majesty Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg on December 3, 1768, Charlotte has grown to be the second-largest banking center in the US, a title it regained in early November 2018.

Charlotte Magazine recently published a list of the 100 events (ranging from the 1700s to the 2000s) that transformed our city into what it is today. A “must read” regardless of how long you have lived or worked in the greater Charlotte region!
