Orange County,
North Carolina is located in the north
central portion of North Carolina and has its
county seat and largest population center in the
southeastern corner of the county. This leaves
the northern portion of Orange County, NC
completely rural but serviced by the junction of
Interstates 40 and 85. Orange County has a
population of 120,100 with about half of that in
the Town of Chapel Hill, according to the US
Census Bureau’s 2006 estimate.
Orange County, NC is the proud host to the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the
nation’s oldest public university. Actually in
1819, the town of Chapel Hill was founded to
serve as the anchor that the University of North
Carolina was to be built upon. One of the first
two NASCAR tracks to open, and the only track
remaining from the 1949 inaugural season, is
Occoneechee Speedway, just outside Orange
County’s City of Hillsborough.
