Over a 100 years ago, Charlotte held it’s own Renaissance Festival at the Charlotte Fairgrounds. The Charlotte Consolidated Construction Company (the 4 C's) headed by Edward Dilworth Latta, leased a large track of land to the Mecklenburg Fair Association in 1902. The latter opened a fair in September of that year. The fairgrounds were located on the south side of East Boulevard about where Park Road and Dilworth Road West are today.
In 1910, Floyd L. Liles of Spartanburg opened a ready wear goods store at 6 S. Tryon called the Floyd L. Liles Company. In 1911, Joseph R. Nix became a partner and the store changed its name to Liles and Nix. In 1912, the store moved to 17-19 West Trade Street but closed one year later in 1913.
