Fuquay-Varina, in southern Wake County, more than doubled in size between 2010 and 2020, growing from 17,937 to 34,152 residents at the 2020 census. The town was formed in 1963 when the neighboring towns of Fuquay Springs and Varina merged, and today it pairs two historic downtowns with a steady supply of new construction homes.
Stephen Fuquay is said to have found a mineral spring here around 1858, and visitors came for its water for generations. The spring is now a small historic park downtown. The Varina Commercial Historic District preserves the shops of the old Varina business area.
