Durham, NC

The economics of Durham, North Carolina, are deeply connected with its history. The area is home to North Carolina Central University, the nation’s first publicly supported liberal arts college for African Americans; has been a hub for major African-American owned businesses since the early twentieth century; and had an important role in the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s & ‘60s and today.

Durham’s rise to a major, modern, metropolitan city began in the 1860’s. Throughout the late 19^th century the boom in its tobacco industry drove the surrounding economy. Among the businesses born in this era was W. Duke & Sons Tobacco Company – owned by the same Duke family that later gave their names to the university and power company (among other enterprises).

Today, Durham is one of the three major vertices of Research Triangle Park – the nation’s largest research park. Education, healthcare, and professional, scientific, and technical services are its largest industries by employment.
