About Chapel Hill
The Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Center describes Chapel Hill as sitting on a lofty hill, shaded by ancient oak and poplar trees. It is home to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the nation’s first state university. While anchoring one of North Carolina’s Research Triangle, the city is also home to a multitude of small farms.
Today, the population of about 52,000 is diverse, consisting of professors, students, business people and retirees from all over the world. Chapel Hill is a study of contrasts; the area is a fantastic destination for relaxation, education and entertainment.
