Raleigh history: Raleigh was named for Sir Walter Raleigh who, in the 1580's, wanted to establish the first English Colony on the shores of the new world, but was unsuccessful. One of its nicknames is "The City of Oaks" This history summary is from the Raleigh Public Affairs Department: Chartered in 1792 to serve as the capital of North Carolina, Raleigh is among the oldest cities in the United States. It was named to honor Sir Walter Raleigh who, two centuries earlier had sponsored the first English colony to settle in the New World. Some 60,000 Union troops were quartered in Raleigh when word came of President Lincoln's assassination in April 1865. Torch-carrying troops, bent on revenge, headed downtown. General John Alexander Logan stopped the troops at gunpoint, thus saving Raleigh's downtown. Raleigh remained a rather sleepy state capital until 1959 when an initiative by the State of North Carolina carved out the now world renowned Research Triangle Park just west of the city. This nucleus of research has transformed the city into one of the fastest growing, yet liveable spots to call home in America. The founding of Raleigh: 1792 as the capital city of North Carolina
