A Brief History of Cary

Cary’s story begins long before it became the vibrant town it is today. In the 1750s, John Bradford opened an inn in the area, giving the settlement its earliest name: Bradford’s Ordinary. For the next century, the land remained largely rural, shaped by families like the Joneses and the Yateses, who established mills and one of the region’s first free schools.

Everything changed in 1854, when Allison Francis “Frank” Page purchased 300 acres near the newly built North Carolina Railroad. Page opened a sawmill, a dry goods store, and a post office, and by 1856, the area was already being called Cary. He built a hotel for railroad passengers, now preserved as the Page-Walker Arts and History Center, and laid out the town’s first streets.

Cary was officially incorporated on April 3, 1871, with Page serving as its first mayor. He named the town after Samuel Fenton Cary, a temperance leader he admired from Ohio. The arrival of a second railroad in 1879 spurred further growth, and by the mid-twentieth century, Cary had grown from a quiet junction town into a thriving suburb. The founding of Research Triangle Park in 1959 accelerated that transformation, and Cary’s population has climbed from around 8,000 in 1971 to well over 170,000 residents today.

Living and Working in Cary

Today, Cary is known for its excellent schools, low crime rate, and strong sense of community. Families are drawn to the town’s tree-lined neighborhoods, its highly ranked public education system, and its proximity to major employers throughout the Triangle. With nearly 2,700 acres of parkland and dozens of miles of greenways, Cary offers residents a healthy, active lifestyle alongside easy access to job opportunities in technology, research, and healthcare. 

It is this combination of small-town character and big-city convenience that continues to attract new residents, and it is why so many of them turn to a trusted Cary endodontist when specialized dental care is needed.
