RALEIGH

Raleigh history

Raleigh was created by the State of North Carolina as the capital city. Back in the 1760s there existed just a few colonial settlements that was originally called Wake Crossroads and served as the county seat for Wake County.

Before the late 1780s a permanent state capital did not exist. The area around Wake Crossroads was selected for its central location and named after Sir Walter Raleigh, the explorer who funded the first expeditions to the North Carolina coast. The first State House opened in 1794.

The city of Raleigh escaped the devastation suffered by other Southern cities when North Carolina's mayor Zebulon Vance and Raleigh Mayor William Harrison surrendered in April of 1865. Over the next 50 years Raleigh evolved into a retail and publishing center and an entertainment mecca for eastern North Carolina. Between 1842 and 1887, no fewer than six colleges and universities were founded in Raleigh including St. Mary's School for women in 1842 and North Carolina State University in 1887.

Raleigh is now routinely listed as one of the best cities in the US, but its real growth didn't begin until the 1970s with the growth of the Research Triangle Park as a research center just down the road. As more and more research facilities and corporations moved into RTP as it is called, they made their homes in Raleigh and the surrounding cities of the Triangle. Today there are over 400,000 people living in the Greater Raleigh area.
