Located at the merge of interstate 85 and 40 between Raleigh and Greensboro, Hillsborough is an ideal location for business and leisure. Nicknamed the “Antique Capital of NC” Hillsborough has an abundance of unique quality businesses from services to shopping. A wonderful retreat for visitors and those looking to relocate to, our shady lanes and rolling hills add to our appeal. Thousand of visitors are attracted yearly to our festivals or for shopping and touring throughout the year. Our town, once the Colonial Capital of NC is rich in history with walking tours of historic sites to a full scale replica of an Indian Village. Such events as our Candlelight tour and our Hillsborough Hog Day offer two great opportunities to enjoy our heritage and wonderful entertainment. Come see what’s waiting for you… Considerable growth was anticipated for Hillsborough because of its healthful and central location. In a letter to the Earl of Shelburne in 1767, Governor Tryon prophesied that Hillsborough would… “tend much towards the increase of the settlement of that part of the back country, as well as to civilize the inhabitants thereof. Its situation is upon a rich red clay soil… distant from the Virginia Line twenty five miles. It lies almost centrical to the towns of Halifax and Salisbury being one hundred miles form each and it on hundred and sixty miles N.W. Of Newbern and one hundred and ninety nearly north of Wilmington. Tho’ there is at present scare twenty families inhabitants (sic) I am of opinion it will be in the course of a few years the most considerable on an inland town in this province.” - Orange County 1752-1952
