History[edit]
Main article: History of Cary, North Carolina
Allison Francis Page, first mayor and founder of Cary
Cary High School, 1915
Prior to the arrival of European settlers, the Tuscarora people lived in what is now called Cary.[16] In the 1750s, John Bradford moved to the area and opened an ordinary or inn, giving Cary its first name—Bradford’s Ordinary.[16] However, most of the land remained in the hands of two men, both named Nathaniel Jones. Arriving around 1775, Jones of White Plains plantation owned 10,461 acres in eastern Cary, while Jones of Crabtree owned most of what is now western Cary.[16][17] After the Revolutionary War, the community was conveniently on the road between the new capital in Raleigh and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.[18] In the early 19th–century, Eli Yates added a gristmill and sawmill to the community, while Rufus Jones founded the first free school in the 1840s, along with Asbury Methodist, the community’s first church.[16][18]
In 1854, Bradford’s Ordinary was linked to a major transportation route when the North Carolina Railroad came through the settlement, followed by the Chatham Railroad in 1868.[16][19] The railroad tracks were laid mostly by enslaved people.[20] Wake County farmer and lumberman Allison Francis “Frank” Page also arrived in 1854 and is credited with founding the town.[16][21][22] For $2,000, Page purchased 300 acres (1.2 km2) surrounding the planned railroad junction and built his home Pages, a sawmill, and general store.[23][17][21] Page also donated ten acres for a railroad depot.[17]
The community was unofficially known as Page, Page’s Siding, Page’s Station, Page’s Tavern, and Page’s Turnout.[9][24] In 1856, Page added a post office and became the town’s first post master.[17][24] Page named the community Cary because of his admiration for Samuel Fenton Cary, head of the Sons of Temperance in North America, who had recently delivered an oration in Raleigh two months prior.[25][26][27][28]
The Civil War did not come to Cary until April 16, 1865—the same day Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered—when 5,000 Confederate troops under General Wade Hampton III encamped there.[18] The next day, Raleigh surrendered to Union General William T. Sherman, and Major General Francis Preston Blair, Jr. led the XVII Corps (Union Army) into Cary and established headquarters at the Nancy Jones House, a tavern and stagecoach stop on the road between Raleigh and Chapel Hill.[18][29] With Blair’s arrival, Cary’s enslaved population was emancipated; some went to Raleigh and joined the 135th U.S. Colored Troops.[18] Blair remained until the surrender of Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston on April 27, and apparently left Cary in relatively good condition.[18]
Cary’s population grew after the war with the completion of the Chatham Railroad junction.[20] Around 1868, the town’s first depot was built for the Chatham Railroad, and Page laid out streets, including Academy and Chatham Streets, and one acre residential lots.[17][5][20] At the time, most of Cary’s men worked for the railroads, but other businesses included a furniture factory, two shingle factories, a tannery, a shoe factory, a brick factory, and a window sash and blind factory.[17][30] Page also built a Second Empire style hotel for railroad passengers, known today as the Page-Walker Hotel.[31]
Page, Adolphus Jones, and Rufus Jones established Cary Academy, a private boarding school later known as the Female Institute and Cary Female Academy.[32][6][18] The two-story school was built in 1870 on Page’s land at the end of Academy Street with lumber milled on-site by Page.[6][17][18] Other additions to the town included Page’s tobacco warehouse, First Methodist Church, First Baptist Church, and the Cary Colored Christian Church on land donated by Page, along with two free schools for whites and two free schools for blacks.[18]
Cary was incorporated on April 3, 1871, with Page serving as the first mayor.[16] Its boundaries were established as one square mile, with the center being the Chatham Railroad warehouse.[20] Because of Page’s support of temperance, Cary’s Act of Incorporation prohibited the sale of whiskey in the one square mile town and its surrounding two miles; an 1889 addition also banned “any vinous, spirituous or malt liquors, cider or peach brandies.”[16][19][26] Page left Cary in 1880, following lumber opportunities in Moore County.[32] However, Cary’s prohibition was in place until 1964, when it was superseded by state and county laws.[33][34][35]
The Raleigh and Augusta Air-Line Railroad (later the Seaboard, now CSX Transportation) arrived in Cary in 1879, creating Fetner Junction just north of downtown and spurring further growth. Sixteen Cary residents purchased the academy in 1896 and converted it into the private boarding school, Cary High School, which had 248 students from across the state by 1900.[36][37][18] When the N.C. legislature passed a law establishing a system of public high schools in 1907, Cary High School was transferred to the State for $2,750, giving Cary its claim of having the first public high school in North Carolina.[37][38] Town bonds and the State funded a new brick school building in 1913; it was expanded in 1939 with WPA assistance.[23] Today that structure survives as the Cary Arts Center.[39]
In the 1920s, the paved Western Wake Highway (now Western Blvd.) connected Cary to Raleigh via automobile, followed by paved roads to Durham and Apex.[18][7] This enabled Cary’s residents to commute for work, and the town’s population grew by 64% during the decade.[18][7] Electricity came to Cary in 1921.[40] For the first time, Cary had housing developments, along with a volunteer fire department and a municipal water and sewage system.[18] During the Great Depression, the Bank of Cary failed and the town went bankrupt.[20] Conditions were so challenging that Cary had four mayors in two years.[20]
In the 1930s, a new North Carolina State University research farm supported Cary’s farmers.[18] One Cary garden club began growing gourds and showed their produce and related crafts at the N.C. State Fair.[41] After the club’s first annual Gourd Festival in 1944, they sent exhibits to the International Gourd Society Festival in Pasadena, CA and took many prizes[42] This earned Cary the nickname “Gourd Capital of the World,” a designation that was reflected in the official town seal.[41][9] Once dubbed “Cary’s longest running annual celebration,” the now named North Carolina Gourd Festival moved to the N.C. State Fair grounds in 2000.[43][44][45] The town seal lost its references to gourds in the 1970s.[41]
After WWII, Cary began to attract industry, including the Taylor Biscuit Company (now Austin Foods/Kellogg’s) which became the town’s largest employer with some 200 employees.[18] Cary expanded its original one square mile boundary in 1949.[9] The town gained its first supermarket, Piggy Wiggly, in 1950, followed by the Cary Public Library in 1960, and a town-funded fire department in 1961.[18] The population and number of development in Cary continued to increase in the 1960s and 1970s after the opening of the nearby Research Triangle Park (RTP) in 1959.[9][40][46] This rapid growth was planned; the state built a four-lane road between Cary and the Research Triangle Park (RTP) as part of the agreement to attract RTP to North Carolina; apparently, “the sleepy town of Cary…was the ideal place for an emerging class of scientific and technical workers.”[47][48]
Initially, Cary adopted zoning and other ordinances on an ad-hoc basis to control growth and give the town structure, including its first subdivision regulations in 1961 and a zoning and land-use plan in 1963.[18] In 1971, the town created Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning which allows a developer to plan an entire community before beginning construction, allowing future residents to know where churches, schools, commercial and industrial areas will be located in advance.[18] Developed on the Pine State Creamery’s former Kildaire Farm, the 967-acre (3.9 km2) Kildaire Farms development in Cary was North Carolina’s first PUD.[49]
In 1960, the population was only 3,356, but has grown to 94,536 in 2000.[50] Concerned about 40 years of steady growth, in 2008 the Town Council commissioned the Cary Historic Preservation Master Plan to establish a coordinated approach to historic preservation.[51] Cary now how three districts recognized by the National Register of Historic Places: the Carpenter Historic District, the Green Level Historic District, and the Cary Historic District.[29]
Geography[edit]
Located in the Piedmont region of the eastern United States, most of Cary is in western Wake County, with neighborhood-sized sections in the northeast corner of Chatham County.[52] According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Cary has a total area of 58.7 square miles.[3] Cary is bordered on the north and east by Raleigh, generally toward the north by Research Triangle Park and Morrisville, on the south by Apex and Holly Springs, and on the west by the Jordan Lake area.[52]
Cary is seated on the boundary between the Durham Basin with its softer sedimentary rocks and the Piedmont with its harder metamorphic rocks.[53] Both geologic provinces have igneous rock intrusions.[53] The landscape is typically gentle to moderate sloping hills separated by narrow v-shaped valleys.[53] However, there are areas with steeper slopes and broader, u-shaped valleys in west Cary, roughly along NC 55 near the Research Triangle Park and north of Green Hope School Road.[53] Cary’s average elevation is 495 feet (151 meters).[1]
The Cary drainage basin includes three main creeks—the Crabtree, the Swift and the Walnut—which are all tributaries of the Neuse River.[17] Most streams in the area have narrow floodplains.[54] However, larger creeks do have broader floodplains, including the Crabtree, Middle, Swift, and White Oak Creeks.[54] Riverine wetlands are common within the floodplains throughout the area.[54] Several small lakes dot the area, most notably Lake Crabtree which was created for flood control of Crabtree Creek.[55][56] Lake Jordan, a large reservoir, flood control, and recreational facility, abuts part of western Cary.[57]
Suburbanization is the typical land use in Cary, but there are still areas devoted to agriculture and forests.[58] The primary agricultural areas are west of NC 55 in Green Level, Upper Middle Creek and the Carpenter community.[58] Local forests include a mixture of conifers and broadleaf trees, and can be found in parks, undeveloped land, and strips between developed lots.[58] Mature trees are more common in Cary’s older subdivisions such as Farmington Woods, Greenwood Forest, and Kildaire Farms because tree preservation was a key design element.[58] However, newer construction in Cary, both residential and commercial, shows “less regard” for trees.[58]
Climate[edit]
Cary has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) under the Köppen climate classification system. It receives hot summers and mildly cold winters, with several months of pleasant weather each year. Temperature extremes here range from the negatives to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Tropical cyclones can affect Cary, usually after weakening substantially from being over land. Some, such as Hurricane Fran in 1996, have caused great damage in the area. Snow falls every year, averaging approximately six inches annually.
