Nestled in the hills of the North Carolina Piedmont, Orange County is located between the Research Triangle Park and the Triad cities of Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point. With more than 130,000 residents, Orange County includes historic Hillsborough, the county seat; Chapel Hill, home of the University of North Carolina; and Carrboro and Mebane, former railroad and mill towns.

Orange County lies on the western edge of the Research Triangle, an area anchored on three sides by UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State University and Duke University. At the region’s center is Research Triangle Park, home to leading technological companies and federal research institutions, including IBM, GlaxoSmithKlein, Cisco, RTI International, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

The County encompasses 400 square miles of rolling farms and forest, vital urban centers and small towns. Orange County combines the best of cosmopolitan and rural values with an abundance of historical, social and cultural resources.
