Fuquay-Varina: Two Towns, One Hyphen
Fuquay-Varina's unusual name reflects the 1963 consolidation of two previously separate communities: Fuquay Springs, named for an area farmer William Fuquay and a mineral spring that had drawn health-seeking visitors in the late 1800s, and Varina, named for Varina Howell Davis, the wife of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The merger created a single municipality south of Raleigh in Wake County.
The town's population has grown substantially over the past two decades, reaching roughly 24,000 and continuing to climb as Wake County's suburban development spreads south from Raleigh. The Fuquay Mineral Spring Park preserves the original spring that gave half the town its name, with a stone pavilion and walking paths.
Downtown Fuquay and downtown Varina remain distinct commercial districts connected by Broad Street, preserving the historical character of the two founding communities. Craft breweries and restaurants have opened in both downtowns over the past decade, and the municipal government has invested in streetscape improvements to encourage pedestrian activity.
