began in 1854, when Dr. Bartlett Durham sold four acres of land to
the North Carolina Railroad Company to build a new station between
Hillsborough and Raleigh. A small village soon sprang up around the
depot. In 1865, huge armies of Union and Confederate forces gathered
in Durham as General Joseph E. Johnston negotiated his surrender to
General William T. Sherman at Bennett Place, the largest troop surrender
at the end of the Civil War. |
