Garner: Wake County Town Along the Norfolk Southern
Garner sits immediately south of Raleigh in Wake County, with a population around 28,000. The town was incorporated in 1883 along the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad and named for Howard Franklin Garner, a state legislator. Cotton, tobacco, and later the railroad shaped the town's early economy. The Garner Seaboard Depot, built in 1914, houses the town's historical museum.
The town's proximity to Raleigh has driven steady suburban growth since the 1970s. Highway 70, the main commercial corridor, connects downtown Garner to downtown Raleigh roughly eight miles to the north. White Oak Crossing, a mixed-use retail and residential development on the east side of town, opened in 2006.
Country music singer Scotty McCreery, who won American Idol in 2011, grew up in Garner and graduated from Garner Magnet High School. A Texas Roadhouse tribute roadway in front of the high school commemorates him. The Lake Benson Park area on the southern edge of town provides recreational space along the lake, and Lake Benson itself supplies secondary drinking water for the region.
