Raleigh, NC, founded in 1792, is a beautiful example of a planned city. It was chosen as North Carolina's capital following the revolutionary war and has blossomed into a booming leg of North Carolina's famed Research Triangle.
The popularization of the Triangle region resulted in quite a boom in the 1960’s, which has continued into current times. Raleigh is currently home to a variety of museums and performing arts venues, as well as professional and college sports teams. With so much to offer its residents, there are so many elements of Raleigh that make it a great place to live.
