Cary’s early years were marked as a mainly rural and agricultural town, but that changed in the mid-1800’s after officials agreed to allow the North Carolina Rail Road to lay tracks through the town. This decision would forever change the small community into a prosperous location full of travel, business development, and mail service.
Officially named “Cary” in 1856 by founder Frank Page in honor of General Samuel Cary, the town has evolved into a rapidly growing alternative to “Big- City Life.”
Growth has increased since the 1960’s when IBM moved into the area and created a bedroom community. In just 18 years the population has nearly tripled. Back in 2004, Money magazine named Cary the hottest town on the east coast and one of the six most desirable places to live in America.
