Mebane: Furniture Across the County Line
Mebane sits on the border between Alamance and Orange counties, along Interstate 85 and the Norfolk Southern rail line. The city was incorporated in 1881 and named for Alexander Mebane Jr., a Revolutionary War officer and congressman. White Furniture Company operated in Mebane from 1881 until 2005, producing case goods and supplying furniture to the White House, corporate clients, and retail. The closure of the White Furniture plant in 2005 marked a symbolic end to the city's long furniture-making tradition.
Mebane's population has grown rapidly through the 2010s and 2020s as Research Triangle commuters have moved westward. The Tanger Outlets Mebane, a shopping center opened in 2010 along I-85, draws traffic from across the region and represents one of the major commercial developments in the area. Mebane's small but preserved downtown retains buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Glen Raven Inc., founded in 1880 and best known for the Sunbrella brand of outdoor fabrics, has maintained corporate operations in the Mebane area. Morinaga America, a Japanese confectionery company, operates a candy manufacturing plant that opened in 2015. The town's industrial base has diversified as textile manufacturing has declined.
