Lets cover off Cary first. Cary is a large town in Wake and Chatham counties in the U.S. state of North Carolina.

The Census Bureau estimates that its population had grown to 134,000 by 2009, making it the largest town and seventh largest municipality statewide. The census bureau more recently rated the Raleigh-Cary metropolitan area as the fastest growing municipality in the U.S. between 2007 and 2008

Cary is situated at the heart of North Carolina‘s Research Triangle Region. It is edged on the north and east by Raleigh, on the north and west by Research Triangle Park and Morrisville, on the south by Apex and Holly Springs, and on the west by the Jordan Lake area.

The majority of Cary is in western Wake County, with a small part in Chatham County.

On the whole, Caryites are a blessed, hard-working group with one of the highest median household incomes in the state.And being no further than 20 minutes from major universities such as Duke, North Carolina State, and the University of North Carolina, it’s no wonder that education is an important part of Cary life.
