Mebane, North Carolina

Mebane is conveniently located between Burlington and Chapel Hill in the eastern part of Alamance County and just over into Orange county. Originally named for Brigadier General Alexander Mebane, a member of Congress in the late 1700's, it is now one of the fastest growing communities in North Carolina with population soon to reach 10,000. Much of Mebane's current growth is due to it's friendly family-oriented atmosphere, small town ease and yet an easy commute to the university towns of Durham and Chapel Hill and the I-40/85 business corridor.

Mebane is known for its profusion of dogwoods, which light up the spring, giving rise to the Mebane Dogwood Festival. To manage its rapid growth over recent years, the city has hired a planner to coordinate new developments with both residential and commercial projects abounding. Construction workers are completing Deerfield Commons Shopping Center, located just of NC 119 and at least 500 new homes are currently on the drawing board. There are also many affordable older neighborhoods, a serene and popular golf course community called Mill Creek and lovely vintage houses that line the main streets leading to downtown. Increasingly popular with retirees as well, there are new town homes and patio homes in various price ranges.

The town has made frequent use of its arts and community center. Ball fields adjacent to the center are busy during football and baseball seasons and it is also the site of the Fourth of July fireworks. The facility serves as the hub for the various classes for all ages and a forum for a variety of entertainment and civic activities for town residents. Community growth has contributed to the construction of a new fire station. City council members are now considering additional facilities for the police department.

On the outskirts of town is Lake Michael, a popular fishing and boating spot. It is also home to one of the new local wineries on the Haw River Wine Trail.
