From Wikipedia:
Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee)[7] is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. It is the second-most populous city in North Carolina, the 41st-most populous city in the U.S., and the largest city of the Research Triangle metro area. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of 147.6 square miles (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau counted the city's population as 474,069 in 2020. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. The city of Raleigh is named after Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County.
Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and their universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013. The Raleigh metropolitan statistical area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.
Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a very small portion extending into Durham County. The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.
Raleigh is an early example in the United States of a planned city. Following the American Revolutionary War when the U.S. gained independence, this was chosen as the site of the state capital in 1788 and incorporated in 1792 as such. The city was originally laid out in a grid pattern with the North Carolina State Capitol in Union Square at the center. During the American Civil War, the city was spared from any significant battle. It fell to the Union in the closing days of the war, and struggled with the economic hardships in the postwar period related to the reconstitution of labor markets, over-reliance on agriculture, and the social unrest of the Reconstruction Era. Following the establishment of the Research Triangle Park (RTP) in 1959, several tens of thousands of jobs were created in the fields of science and technology, and it became one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States by the early 21st century.

Great video. I've been here over 20 years and the changes are unreal...
Just coming around that curve on McDowell street is always amazing. It goes from trees to a growing city

Remember when Raleigh was a cool college town? Pepperidge Farms remembers. Lived in the city 31yrs, moved out of Wake county completely. I could post some complaints but if ya'll like it, good on ya. My only regret is that I didn't move out sooner. Should've left when they started build high rise apartments on every corner.
I’m moving to Raleigh in November I can’t wait 😃

Raleigh is cool. But they gentrified a lot of apartments in north Raleigh and installed high EMF powerlines and crown towers everywhere ... installing powerlines in ppls yard ... cutting down hundreds of acres of lands all over nc... governor is a worthless clown

Shout out to the Prius going the wrong way on Wilmington at 24:29...
I miss living there
It’s probably like that because of the time of the day and it’s most likely super hot in the day time
We moved from California to NC 13 years ago and have never looked back.

Why downtown so small

Raleigh was traditionally a pretty small city relatively speaking so lots of the population there now is recent growth.
@larss592

Businees center for North Carolina is Charlotte. Raleigh stayed relatively small as a capitol because the Research Triangle Park which has the majority of industrial and tech business was implemented to serve Raleigh Durham and Chapel Hill thereby spreading the potential growth over a larger area.

Every city can't be New York City or Chicago with alot of tall buildings/skyscrapers now. Accept a city for what it has to offer smh.
coca cola , warm weather , people who dont want to be screamed at when the downtown sports arena is closing/moving ..

@@bvedant I'm in Raleigh now, it's been a month xD quite a nice place but really it seems there's not much to do here. I go to downtown and I don't see much of anything and by that I mean people, shops...life! maybe because I moved from Berlin and my expectations are a bit high. or maybe because I'm still exploring and haven't found the right places yet. I hear Charolette has much more to do and a bigger city, will definitely give it a visit and get the feel of it.
I live in Raleigh
I love Raleigh. I wish North Carolina would abolish state income tax. I think North Carolina would grow like crazy if it lowered its tax burden to match Florida and Tennessee.
