History
The North Carolina Railroad is largely responsible for the founding of Cary in the mid-1850s. Farmer Allison Francis "Frank" Page and his wife Kate bought 300 acres. They began developing the town and named it Cary, after Samuel Fenton Cary. The local post office was established in 1856 and Page was the postmaster. He also was the town's first mayor.
