Raleigh

Raleigh

Raleigh is Old South and New South, down-home and upscale, all in one. Named for Sir Walter Raleigh, who established the first English colony on the coast in 1585, it's the state capital and one of the country's fastest growing cities. Many of the state's largest and best museums are here, as are North Carolina State University and six other universities and colleges.
