Discover the rich history of the Catawba American Indian Tribe, whose lands stretched from present-day North and South Carolina around 1715. Wander through the scenic trails at Craggy Gardens in North Carolina, where the first blooms of Southern catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides) flowers with their yellow nectar guides can be found. Reflect on the past as you gaze upon Lake Catawba near Charlotte, N.C., in this 1942 photograph. The Catawba people continued to inhabit the region during the Revolutionary War in 1776, when they allied with the British. The name "Catawba" also echoes through Europe, with the Indian Bean Tree (Catalpa bignonioides) in Bad Harzburg, Goslar, Harz, Lower Saxony, Germany, sharing the same moniker. The Hine and Textile Mill images from 1908 depict a stark contrast to the natural beauty of the Catawba lands, as child labor and industrialization took hold in Newton, North Carolina. Among the notable figures from Catawba history is Tana-charison, also known as The Half-King, a Native American leader who lived around 1700. His legacy continues to be a testament to the resilience and strength of the Catawba people.
