"We have laid the foundation of a city which will be the pride of North Carolina."

— William Christmas, 1792 (surveyor of Raleigh)

Raleigh was officially established in 1792 as North Carolina’s new capital, chosen for its central location to better serve the state’s citizens. Unlike many cities that developed organically over time, Raleigh was one of the few planned state capitals in the U.S. Named after Sir Walter Raleigh, the English explorer who sponsored the famous "Lost Colony" on Roanoke Island, the city holds deep roots in early American history.
