The City
of Raleigh was established in 1792. As the capitol
city of the state of North Carolina, Raleigh is a
state-of-the-art cultural mecca that would make Sir
Walter Raleigh proud. Just a few of the offerings here
are:
ALLTEL
Pavilion - one of the most technologically
advanced amphitheatres in the world and said to have
the best acoustic accomplishments in the world.
BTI
Center for the Performing Arts - includes:
NC
Museum of Natural Sciences
NC
Museum of History
The North Carolina Solar Center

Historical sights include:
Few places in the world can touch Raleigh's
dedication to sports either. Teams and venues
include Carolina
Courage (women's soccer), Carolina
Hurricanes (men's soccer), NCSU
Wolfpack Atheletics, the RBC
Center, the Raleigh
IcePlex, and the Ray
Price Legends of Harley Drag Racing Museum.
Restaurants,
shopping, and recreational opportunities abound in
this scenic city framed by the Neuse River and
Walnut and Crabtree Creeks.
The Raleigh (population 276,093 in 2003)
government leaders, educational community and the business
community have, together, achieved a consistent
rating of one of the best areas for quality of life
in the United States. High employment, good wages,
great climate and location, and a varied
recreational and cultural opportunities will keep it
there.
