Anexo:Condados de Carolina del Norte para niños
El estado de Carolina del Norte se divide en 100 condados. Carolina del Norte ocupa el puesto 28º por superficie, pero el séptimo lugar por número de condados en el país.
Tras la restauración de la monarquía en 1660, Carlos II de Inglaterra recompensó a ocho personas el 24 de marzo de 1663, por su fiel apoyo en sus esfuerzos por recuperar el trono de Inglaterra. Concedió a los ocho becarios, llamado Lores Propietarios, la tierra llamada Carolina, en honor de Carlos I, su padre. La Provincia de Carolina, de 1663 a 1729, fue una colonia británica en América del Norte. En 1729, la Provincia de Carolina del Norte fue oficialmente dividida de la Provincia de Carolina del Sur.
La historia de Carolina del Norte se prolonga durante más de 240 años, comenzando en 1668 con la creación del Condado de Albemarle y terminando en el año 1911 con la creación de el condado de Hoke Hyde. En ese tiempo, cinco condados se han dividido o desaparecido por completo, siendo el último en 1791 el Condado de Dobbs.
La Tabla incorpora el código de la Norma Federal de Procesamiento de Información (FIPS, Federal Information Processing Standard), usada por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos para la identificación exclusiva de estados y condados. Carolina del Norte tiene el código FIPS 37, que cuando se combina con el condado código aparece como 37XXX.
