Living In Orange County North Carolina

The county seat of Orange County is Hillsborough, a town rich in history — it was once the capital of North Carolina and featured one of the first NASCAR tracks of the inaugural 1949 season.

Its most famous municipality, though, is Chapel Hill, home to the oldest state university, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. With a population of slightly more than 50,000, the town of Chapel Hill offers refined living with a college-town feel. It boasts a vibrant music scene, a number of nationally recognized eateries, and a host of coffee shops, bars and specialty shops in its downtown area. Franklin Street, the town’s main boulevard, hosts numerous street fairs and public activities as well as the Morehead Planetarium, the Ackland Art Museum and plenty of unique retail opportunities. The UNC Tar Heels, a perennial top-20 NCAA basketball team, play in the Dean E. Smith Center, popularly known as the Dean Dome.

Carrboro, located immediately west of Chapel Hill and known for its Carrboro Music Festival, and Mebane are also found in Orange County.
