==History==
The department was founded as the North Carolina Department of Art, Culture, and History. Its first secretary was [[Sam Ragan]], poet and arts advocate who later became [[North Carolina Poet Laureate]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Past North Carolina Poets Laureate|url=http://ncarts.org/resources/poetry-resources/north-carolina-poet-laureate/past-nc-poets-laureate/|publisher=North Carolina Arts Council|accessdate=April 10, 2014|
Many of the offices and divisions of the department were founded as separate institutions, such as the [[State Library of North Carolina]], founded in 1812, the [[North Carolina Museum of History]], founded in 1902, and the [[North Carolina Symphony]], founded in 1943. These organizations either remained independent or were gradually combined under the Office of Archives and History until 1971, when the Department of Cultural Resources became the first cabinet-level office of any state in the United States to deal solely with history, the arts, and cultural knowledge.<ref name="Strategic Plan">{{cite web |url= http://www.ncdcr.gov/Portals/0/documents/dcr-strategicplan-2011-web.pdf |title= 2011-2013 Strategic Plan |author= North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, Office of the Secretary |year= 2011 |work= |publisher= |accessdate=6 December 2012}}</ref><ref name=Beckwith>{{cite news|last=Beckwith|first=Ryan Teague|title=What does the Cultural Resources Secretary do?|url=http://projects.newsobserver.com/under_the_dome/faq/what_does_the_cultural_resources_secretary_do|accessdate=December 13, 2012|newspaper=Raleigh News & Observer|date=December 5, 2008}}</ref>
