Abstract:
Both the city and county of Durham were named after Dr. Bartlett Durham a mid-19th-century physician. He established his practice in an area equidistant from Raleigh, Pittsboro, and Oxford. The city officially became Durham after Dr. Durham leased a piece of property to the Southern Railway to build a train depot.
