The Town of Hillsborough is built on the site of three successive Native American villages, which stood from about 1000 to 1710 CE. Orange County was founded in 1752. Two years later, the town of Orange was laid out by William Churton on land where the Great Indian Trading Path crossed the Eno River. Hillsborough was the base of operations for the Continental Army led by Revolutionary General Horatio Gates. Later, General Cornwallis raised the Royal Standard here during his stay in February 1781. Hillsborough remained a political and cultural center in the nineteenth century.
documented by the many signs and historical markers which line Churton Street in historic downtown Hillsborough. But the past is the past and after a period of sleep Hillsborough has awakened to become the center of culture, entertainment and education envisioned by Paul Cameron and William Graham a hundred and fifty years ago. Not your ordinary small southern town, Hillsborough has lately been attracting some of the finest minds in the south who have made it their home and some of the best chefs in the state who have opened restaurants to feed them. Located 12 miles from both Durham and Chapel Hill and 38 miles from Raleigh, Hillsborough is convenient to Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill and Research Triangle Park. The nearest airport is RDU International, just 40 minutes away. Both Interstate 40 and 85 pass within a couple miles of downtown Hillsborough and old NC Highway 86 passes right through it.
