Imagine Mayberry 40 years later and you might picture
Graham. We're conveniently located on Interstate 85/40
providing access to
Raleigh
50 miles to the east and
Greensboro 20 miles to the west. Between these
these two large metropolitan areas lies Graham
which provides the small town atmosphere but with all
the popular chains in Graham or within a few minutes
drive. The courthouse is located centrally in Graham and
in Alamance County. Roads radiate north, south, east and
west from the courthouse to the various business and
residential areas of town and county
The City of Graham NC
has an interesting history surrounding its origins.
Graham is located in the direct center of Alamance
County. This occurred as a result of the decision to
split Orange County. In the early 1800's Orange County
was composed of both present day Alamance and Orange
Counties. Some people believed that the county was too
large and decided to split the county in two, creating
Alamance County. Once the County was established a
County Seat needed to be created, the City of Graham was
the result of this effort. Graham was centered around a
courthouse square and in the summer of 1849 the first
lots went up for sale that surrounded the courthouse. In
1851, just two years later, the Town of Graham was
incorporated. Graham was named for the outgoing
governor, Willaim A. Graham of Hillsbourgh. Sixty-eight
lots were surveyed off which were sold over the next 20
years. The original 75 acres was purchased for $603.
