Raleigh

Raleigh is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many oak trees. It is the second most populous city in North Carolina after Charlotte. The estimated population is over 385,000 people. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, it is the fastest growing metropolitan area in the nation.


Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill make up the three historically primary cities of the Research Triangle metropolitan region. The regional nickname of "The Triangle" originated after the 1959 creation of the Research Triangle Park, located between the cities of Raleigh and Durham. The estimated population of the Research Triangle regionis over 1.6 million people.

Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County. The towns of Cary, Garner, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.
