Tucked into North Carolina’s rolling, wooded Piedmont, Chapel Hill is a place whose character is shaped by its hilly terrain and university life. Bolin Creek runs through northern neighborhoods, while paths and green spaces soften the built-up core. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, chartered in 1789, anchors the community and gives Franklin Street its steady flow of students, restaurants, bookstores and performances. The Old Well is a familiar campus symbol, and the Coker Arboretum adds a cultivated pocket of trees and walking paths. Together with Durham and Raleigh, Chapel Hill forms part of the Research Triangle, a major center for education and research.
