Former Units
Some units have been formally removed from the NC State Park System and transferred to other agencies for management.
When the State Historic Site system was established in 1955, the system's first seven components were historic properties transferred from the State Park System.

Famous quotes containing the word units:
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
