The Carolinas is a collective term used in the United States to refer to the states of North and South Carolina together. The Carolinas were once known during America's colonial period, specifically from 1663 - 1710, as the Province of Carolina. Prior to that time these lands were considered part of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia from 1609 - 1663.

This province, named Carolina after King Charles I of England, during the reign of King Charles II of England, was divided in 1710 into South Carolina and North Carolina.Template:NorthCarolina-geo-stub Template:SouthCarolina-geo-stub
