History of Wake County North Carolina

Yates Water Mill Raleigh North Carolina

Before European settlers arrived, the land that would later be known as Wake County was the home of the Tuscarora Nation. These Iroquois-speaking people originated from the Great Lakes region, but moved into what would become the Carolinas long before the Europeans arrived.

Colonization of the region was very violent and bloody. However, in 1770, the American Colonies formed Wake County, and in 1771, Wake County put together militia units for the Revolutionary War. Raleigh became the state capital in 1794.

The 20th century saw boom and bust periods in Wake County, and by the early 21st century, the county’s population exceeded 1 million people.
