Flights to Raleigh-Durham, NC (RDU)
The Raleigh-Durham area located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina has a unique history steeped in the prodigious cultivation of tobacco and the production of cigarettes. The Duke family of Durham was particularly successful at the endeavor, and their name is emblazoned on the many institutions they founded in the area, including Duke University.
But in the mid-1950s, a move was made to attract high-tech companies to the area, so Research Triangle Park was established. The effort was so successful, the geographic area that encompasses North Carolina State University in Raleigh, Duke University in Durham, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has come to be called Research Triangle or, more commonly, the Triangle.
That concentration of colleges has greatly influenced the Raleigh-Durham area in many significant ways. For one thing, collegiate sports – particularly basketball – are hugely popular attractions. In addition, the affection for beer runs so deep, more than 25 craft breweries call the area home. And where there’s craft, there is an excellent foodie scene.
