Angier,
North Carolina is a bedroom community for the Research Triangle, located 20
miles south of Raleigh. Angier's estimated
3,419 residents enjoy a quiet, gentle lifestyle that dates back to the time
of the Civil War. What would become the Durham and Southern Railroad started as
little more than a tram car hauling lumber and logs from the Jake Williams farm
in Harnett County to Apex in Wake County. As timber made way for the farming of
cotton and tobacco, the little railroad grew. Where there was only a bunk house
and a turnaround for the train a station was built.
The town was named Angier after the man who helped bring the rail line to the
area. In 1899 surveying work began to lay out the streets and byways for a new town,
and in 1901 Angier became a chartered town. The
Durham and Southern Railroad
had its last run through the center of town on July 5, 1979. Today, Angier
is the fastest growing area in Harnett County.
