Carrboro: Progressive Neighbor to Chapel Hill
Carrboro sits immediately west of Chapel Hill in Orange County, sharing a municipal border along Merritt Mill Road. The town was incorporated in 1911 as Venable and renamed Carrboro in 1913 for Julian Shakespeare Carr, a Durham industrialist whose Carr-Lloyd Cotton Mill operated in the community. Carr, a Confederate veteran whose speeches supporting white supremacy have drawn renewed attention in recent years, was stripped of a statue on the UNC campus in 2018.
Carrboro has established a reputation for progressive local politics, becoming in 1995 the first North Carolina municipality to adopt an ordinance offering employment protections for gay and lesbian workers. The town has continued that tradition with policies on environmental protection, labor rights, and civil rights that often precede broader state adoption.
Weaver Street Market, a cooperative grocery founded in 1988, anchors downtown Carrboro as both a business and a community gathering place. The ArtsCenter offers classes and performances, and Cat's Cradle is one of the longest-running music clubs in the state, hosting touring indie rock acts since 1969. Carrboro's small population of about 21,000 is boosted by the steady presence of UNC Chapel Hill students, faculty, and alumni who spill across the municipal line.
