History of Cary, North Carolina

==Early History==

Native Americans had been inhabiting the area that is today known as Cary for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans. When the English colonists arrived in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, they encountered the Sissipahaw, Eno, and Shakori. Unfortunately, little knowledge remains of these people, but it is believed that their numbers were greatly reduced due to smallpox epidemics and military conflicts with settlers. It is assumed that they were absorbed by the Catawba people, who still live in North Carolina and South Carolina.
As settlers began moving westward from the coast of the Carolinas, the area that is known as Cary today was deeded to Francis Jones in 1749. Due to its proximity between the burgeoning towns of New Bern and Hillsborough, Cary began to thrive as a small farming community growing a range of crops including tobacco and cotton. In the late 18th and early 19th century, Cary started becoming more centralized by capitalizing off its location on a crossroads. In 1794, John Bradford built a successful inn known as Bradford's Ordinary, which was what the region was usually referred to at the time. And a woman named Nancy Jones made her home a stagecoach stop, which increased the town's prominence.〔
Cary's role as a crossroad increased with the establishment of the University of North Carolina at nearby Chapel Hill in 1789 and Raleigh as the capital of the state in 1792. But it was the expansion of the North Carolina Railroad in 1854 and the Chatham Railroad in 1868 that really accelerated the town's development. Seeing the potential of the transportation infrastructure, a man named Francis Page bought 300 acres that stretched on both sides of the track. Expanding the economic base of the town, Page built a lumber mill as well as the town's post office, hotel, and school known as the Cary Academy. This period represents Cary's first economic boom, which ended with the Panic of 1873. Page was also the man who first started referring to the area as Cary, naming it after noted prohibitionist Samuel Cary, which was eventually incorporated in 1871. Due to the town's inspiration, Cary was a dry town that did not allow the sale of alcohol.〔
