Abstract:

Cary began as an 18th-century crossroads inn in western Wake County known as Bradford's Ordinary. Over the centuries the town has prospered due to a fortune location near Raleigh, the state capital. Lea discusses Cary's commitment to preservation of its history and its growth from an expanding population.
