Fayetteville, NC

Overall Score

3.8

Feytheville is the headquarters of the District of Camperland. The city itself is located on the banks of the Cape Fear River in the center of North Carolina. Fayetteville has three times earned the distinction of being an All-American City for its residents commitment to community development and exciting projects.

However, before the arrival of the European colonists, the area was inhabited by different tribes who spoke Siouan languages: Choakori, Eno, Wakakamaw. After several military conflicts with the Japanese in the early 18th century, white settlers migrated to the area. There were two settlements in present-day Ffaithelville: Crosse Creek was predominantly English, and in Cambodyton, it was mostly Scottish. In 1783 the settlements were reunited under the name Félétville, also in honor of the Frenchman Gilles Le Fayette, one of the heroes of the American Revolutionary War.

In the years of the Revolutionary War, Fort Dettville was overrun and ravaged by the Army of the & lquo;natives; an army of the Confederation was attacked, and the silk manufactures and foundries were demolished. In 1918, an artillery camp was established near Fayetteville, which became one of the countrys largest and most important military bases, Fort Bragg. Today, it is home to the U.S. Army Coast Guard Station.

The main tourist attraction at Fort Bragg is the archaeological and architectural features. There are several churches, and Heritage Square, where the famous citizens mansions are located. Other popular attractions include the countrys first chain-type restaurant, the Golden Corral, a botanical garden, and several museums.
