Description
Images of America: Mebane is a visual journey through the history of a town that has long been regarded by its citizens as "the biggest little town on earth." From its modest beginnings in 1809 as a stagecoach stop, inn, and post office, it has recently developed into one of the fastest growing towns in North Carolina. Mebane has a long connection to the railroad, a legacy as one of the major tobacco markets in the state, and a history as a major manufacturing and shopping center. Over many decades, ordinary people and forward-looking leaders fostered the town's growth by establishing businesses, industries, good schools, a public library, various recreation facilities, and other opportunities and services. The construction of Interstates 85 and 40 brought many changes while linking Mebane more closely to the outside world and making it an even more attractive place in which to work and live.
