Raleigh, the City of Oaks, is North Carolina's capital and second-largest city, with 467,665 residents at the 2020 census. Chosen as the site of the state capital in 1788, Raleigh was one of the few U.S. cities planned from the start to serve as a capital. It lies mostly in Wake County, with a small portion in Durham County, and anchors the Research Triangle with Durham and Chapel Hill.
Downtown is home to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and the North Carolina Museum of Art sits on Blue Ridge Road. Dorothea Dix Park, a roughly 308-acre city park near downtown, and an extensive greenway system provide plenty of green space. The Carolina Hurricanes play at Lenovo Center.

North Carolina State University, founded in 1887, anchors southwest Raleigh, and Research Triangle Park and RDU International Airport are a short drive west.
Raleigh ranges from historic in-town neighborhoods and new downtown condos to North Raleigh estates on wooded lots. Most of Raleigh is served by the Wake County Public School System, and the small Durham County portion by Durham Public Schools; confirm the assignment for any address with the district.
