Question: Who was depicted on North Carolina’s first historical postage stamp?
Answer: North Carolina’s first historical stamp, issued in 1937, honored Virginia Dare, remembered as the first English child born in an American colony. Eight days later, a souvenir sheet celebrating the Great Smoky Mountains was issued in Asheville. Other North Carolina stamps have paid tribute to the Roanoke voyages, the Wright Brothers, the Carolina charter, and statehood.
