CAROLINA, a town in Spain, of recent foundation, in the province of Andalusia, in one of its kingdoms, distinguished by the name of Jaen. It was formed by German colonists in 1767, who began the process of cultivation, but, from various causes, with little success. It has, however, some excellent wine grown in its vicinity; and olives, hemp, and corn, have been introduced. The district was formerly inhabited only by robbers, gipsies, and pretended conjurors; to extirpate whom, Olavide planted several German families, and introduced the arts of civilized life. The great sufferings of the late war were very much experienced in this town, and it must be long before it can recover its former prosperity. It contains at present 2050 inhabitants, and is situated in lat. 38. 17. 5. N.
