Fayetteville Street is a major street in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. It is a north-south thoroughfare that connects the State Capitol to the Raleigh Convention Center and the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts. It is the City of Raleigh's ceremonial center, hosting parades, special events, and seasonal celebrations. In the 2000s, an effort by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance was made to separate downtown Raleigh into five smaller districts: Fayetteville Street, Moore Square, Glenwood South, Warehouse (Raleigh), and Capital District (Raleigh). The Fayetteville Street district is home to a variety of downtown Raleigh businesses, shops, restaurants, bars, and other attractions. == History ==
Fayetteville Street was the main thoroughfare south of the state capitol in the early 20th century,〔(Map of Raleigh in 1920 )〕 but by the 1950s, parallel streets had become more heavily traveled.〔(Map of Raleigh in 1951 )〕 In 1977, the street was closed to traffic and converted to a pedestrian mall in an attempt to revitalize the downtown area. It was returned to vehicular traffic in 2006, in a renewed, and thus far, more successful revitalization effort. In 2008, the Fayetteville Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Fayetteville was named to honor General Lafayette.
