About Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill is a town located in the southeast corner of Orange County, about 10 miles from Durham and 32 miles from Raleigh.

The town of Hillsborough lies to the north, nearby Carrboro to the west, and Chatham County to the south. There are a variety of corporations headquartered in the town.
Chapel Hill, or at least the town center, indeed sits atop a hill which was originally occupied by a small Anglican “chapel of ease”, built in 1752, known as New Hope Chapel. The Carolina Inn now occupies the site of the original chapel. In 1819, the town was founded to serve the University of North Carolina and grew up around it.
The town was chartered in 1851, and its main street, Franklin Street, was named in memory of Benjamin Franklin.
