The Research Triangle Region of North Carolina gets its name from the world-famous Research Triangle Park that was created out of pine forests in Durham County more than 40 years ago.
The three points of the "triangle" are anchored by the research facilities at Duke University in Durham, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University in Raleigh. However, the Research Triangle's beneficial effects on North Carolina have spread much farther than those three communities.
The entire Piedmont Region of North Carolina -- that area between the Coastal Plain and the western Mountains -- has seen direct benefits from the RTP, as locals call it. Not only have Durham, Orange and Wake counties been profoundly changed because of the RTP, but the surrounding counties of Alamance, Person, Granville and Chatham have been changed forever by being part of the Triangle Region.
Not the least of those influences is that the Triangle Region has become one of the most vibrant and exciting places to live in all of the United States. It is consistently rated among the best places to live by polls and magazines that chart such things. But people who live here don't need polls or magazine articles to tell them they've got it good. They just have to look around them.
