Raleigh Auto Shipping

Raleigh is a city in as well as the county seat of Wake County, North Carolina; it also sits as the capital of the entire state. It is populated with thousands of oak trees, which has given way to the nickname “City of Oaks,” and according to the official US Census conducted in 2000 the population of the city was over 380,000 residents, making it the second largest city in the state and the 45th largest city in the United States.

The city began as the capital of North Carolina – it was originally founded to be the capital in 1792, and at the same time was declared the county seat of the newly formed Wake County. After the turn of the 19th century the city grew rapidly, with agriculture leading the way in terms of the city’s main source of income. After the American Civil War Raleigh was one of the most tolerant cities in the South towards freed slaves, offering educational opportunities as well as high-paying industrial jobs. Currently Raleigh enjoys a high standard of living despite its urban decay during the 1960’s and 1970’s; today, the city has been transformed into one of the cleanest cities in all of North Carolina.

During the summer months, average daily highs in the city typically only reach into the mid 80’s, which is actually unusual for a city in that area; overnight, however, temperatures drop down into the mid 60’s. During the winter months, temperatures are much lower, with highs during the day only topping out in the mid 40’s and lows dropping into the low 30’s.
