Cary NC: Then & Now

Cary started out in the mid eighteenth century as a settlement known as Bradford's Ordinary.

A century later, the railroad was built through the settlement, linking it to other transportation routes.

A Wake County farmer and lumberman named Allison Francis "Frank" Page is credited as Cary's founder. He and his wife bought 300 acres surrounding the railroad junction. He named the development Cary after Samuel Fenton Cary, whom he admired.

Page went on to build and develop the community, laying out its first streets and building a sawmill, general store, post office, and hotel.

The town was incorporated in 1871, with Page as its first mayor.

Since 1971 the town has had planned zoning to accommodate growth and be forward looking.

Cary's leaders have focused on creating an aesthetically pleasing community for residents.
