Book Overview
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.
