North Carolina's capital Raleigh combines history with modern-day excitement through its many venues and historic sites. Its beginnings date to the Revolutionary War when the capital was moved due to a siege on New Bern (former NC capital). The capital was moved in 1792 to the location where Raleigh now resides! Raleigh is one of the very few cities to be established as a "capital city" initially!
Raleigh is where visitors can enjoy shopping and fine dining and tour a host of landmarks, see a game, explore the outdoors and check out the nighttime venues! Raleigh also boasts a thriving academic community with several colleges, universities, and technical schools!
Raleigh got its name from Sir Walter Raleigh, an explorer and tobacco entrepreneur! Raleigh is home to several great companies such as IBM, Cisco, Lenovo, Sony Ericsson, and others!
The city also features the North Carolina State University and the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame! One of the best research parks in the world - Research Triangle Park - is located in Raleigh!
