Durham NC area info and real estate by Allen Tate Realtors

The county seat, Durham, is home to Duke University, North Carolina Central University, Durham Technical Community College, and the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Its a city rich in history that grew rapidly after the Civil War, largely due to the tobacco and textiles industries. Today, tobacco and textiles have given way to medicine and technology, and the city is nationally known for a growing creative class as much as the loved Durham Bulls of Hollywood fame. An historic strength of the city is its diversity of cultures and perspectives that together make for an open and welcoming community. Durham was home to Black Wall Street in the early 20th century, and a strong African-American business community continues to thrive to this day.

Duke University, which began as Trinity College in 1892, is now known as one of the worlds finest universities. Its business, medical and law schools consistently rank among the nations best, and its storied NCAA men's basketball team (the Duke Blue Devils) has made 14 NCAA Final Four appearances.

Durham is especially famous for its downtown areas, and the community hosts several nationally recognized arts events. Downtown's historic Carolina Theatre is the host of the North Carolina Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. The American Dance Festival, a six-week series of dance performances by nationally renowned artists, is held on the Duke campus every summer, and there are numerous jazz and blues festivals and concerts throughout the year. Specialty shops and galleries sit along Ninth Street and the redeveloped West End, centers of Durham's thriving creative population.

Home to most of the Research Triangle Park and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, Durham County also boasts the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science and Eno River State Park.
