Durham Auto Shipping

Durham is a city in as well as the county seat of Durham County, North Carolina; according to the official US Census last conducted in 2007 the city was the fourth largest in the state of North Carolina as well as the 85th largest in the entire United States. Durham is perhaps most famous for being the home of Duke University as well as North Carolina Central University.

It was founded as a rail depot located between Raleigh and Hillsborough; it became a major rail hub for the route, as at the time it was important to have maintenance stops along longer routes in order to service the trains – Durham served that purpose. However, focus on the railroads shifted as big tobacco came to the town, with companies such as the Bull Durham Tobacco Company and the Duke and Sons Tobacco Company calling Durham home. The city’s economy is now centered primarily on the tobacco industry, though high tech industries are also present in the city.

During the summer months, average daily highs in the city reach into the low-to-mid 80’s during the day, with typical overnight lows dropping down into the low-to-mid 60’s. During the winter months, however, average daily highs in the city reach into the mid-to-upper 40’s during the day, with overnight lows often dropping down below freezing overnight.
