Great American Cross Country Festival
|
Donna on the Side - Saturday Located in the hotbed of the Research Triangle, Cary is the place to be. The Triangle area is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Here you will find many types of scientists all bringing an established community into the world of high technology and science. Last year Money Magazine picked Cary, North Carolina as the "hottest towns" and "one of the most desirable places to live in the East." Cary began as a settlement called Bradford's Ordinary in 1750. About 1850 Allen Francis Page a Wake County farmer and lumberman bought 300 acres near Bradford's Ordinary and established a sawmill, general store, inn and post office. He called the new settlement Cary after General Samuel Cary, a prohibitionist from Ohio that he admired. The area continued to develop and survived devastation during the Civil War, when a detachment of General Sherman's troops stormed through looking for silver. About the time of the Civil War, the Seaboard Railroad was founded in Cary. By the late 1860's Cary became a junction for railroad activity. Soon after, the town was incorporated and continued to develop in retail and manufacturing. After World War II the area was selected to develop the Research-Triangle Park which brought in high quality research activity that makes Cary what it is today. Let the Festival Begin!
