Hillsborough, North Carolina
was laid out in 1754 by William Churton, where the
great Indian Trading Path crossed the Eno River. Then called
"Orange," the town was designed on 400 acres granted
by the Honorable John Earl Granville. Hillsborough took its
present name in 1766.
Much has changed in Hillsborough in the 250
years since its inception. But many things remain the same.
Hillsborough is still ideally situated, at the
merger of Interstate 85 and Interstate 40, providing easy
access to all points in North Carolina. The town that was
once the colonial capital of North Carolina is now the county
seat of Orange County. During the Revolutionary War, Hillsborough
was a political and cultural center in the area and it remains
so today, with interesting shops and restaurants and many
activities celebrating the arts and history being held monthly.
Hillsborough is a nice
place to visit, but it's an even nicer place in which to live
and do business.
