About Durham
The City of Durham was once known as a manufacturing hub for tobacco and textiles. In the 1800’s, Durham became known as the “Bull City” for its Bull Durham Tobacco line. Today, the same buildings that housed tobacco giants American Tobacco and Liggett-Meyers are being transformed into high-tech industry headquarters with upscale shopping and residential units thrown into the mix.
Durham is one of the largest cities in the state and is also recognized as one of the original global centers for information technology, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medicine. With the healthcare industry becoming a major player in the area’s economic development, Durham garnered the nickname the “City of Medicine.”
Residents of Durham enjoy the benefits of an urban setting with easy access to numerous parks and natural settings in the area. The City is also home to the Triple-A baseball team, the Durham Bulls, and the new and state-of-the-art Durham Performing Arts Center. Duke University and North Carolina Central call Durham home and are a short drive to neighboring rivals University of Chapel Hill and North Carolina State.
The City is rich in history and culture and celebrates its diversity with annual festivals, concerts, and expositions. The downtown area of Durham is experiencing a renaissance with the influx of shopping, restaurants, galleries, and new residents interested in making the historical city their new home.
