Raleigh (pronounced /ˈrÉ‘Ëli/, ral-ee) is the capital of the State of North Carolina and the county seat of Wake County. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many oak trees. The city has a population of approximately 367,995 (2007 estimate), making it the second most populous in North Carolina, after Charlotte. According to City of Raleigh Planning Department's Growth Management Division, Raleigh is the 50th-largest city in the United States.
Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill make up the three primary cities of The Research Triangle metropolitan region. The regional name originated after the 1959 creation of the Research Triangle Park, located midway between the cities of Raleigh and Durham. The Research Triangle is an urban region that encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Combined Statistical Area of Raleigh-Durham-Cary. The estimated population of the Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area, was 1,565,223 as of July 1, 2006, with the Raleigh-Cary metropolitan statistical area portion estimated at 994,551 residents. While almost all of Raleigh's city limits falls within Wake County, a few small portions of Raleigh are in Durham County as the result of the city's annexations there .
