So how do you pronounce that...? Five questions (and answers) about the up-and-coming town of Fuquay-Varina

Fuquay-Varina - Triangle Area Relocation

Moving to Fuquay-Varina NC

Fuquay Varina Relocation

Fuquay-Varina is a town just south of Raleigh, and is part of the Triangle Area in central North Carolina. The Triangle is consistently rated as one of the best places to live in the country by national media outlets such as Forbes, BusinessWeek, and MSNBC.

Once just a small town of a few thousand people with no real identity, Fuquay-Varina has grown in the past few years into a bustling area with several unique attractions.

So for people who are thinking about moving to the Triangle, here is a primer of five facts to get you interested about Fuquay-Varina.

Fuquay Varina Relocation

1. How do you say Fuquay-Varina?

It's " 'fjuːkweɪ vəˈriːnə", or, in case you're in the majority of people who don't know what that says (like me), FYU-kway Va-REE-nah.

2. Where'd that name come from?

Fuquay-Varina was originally two towns. Fuquay was settled in the mid-1800s by William Fuquay around a mineral water spring. It was officially incorporated in 1909 as Fuquay Springs. Varina was founded in 1880 by a Civil War veteran and named after his wife, Varina. The two towns continued to grow side-by-side, mainly due to the tobacco trade, until their proximity virtually merged them together. They became one town, Fuquay-Varina, in 1963.

3. What was Fuquay-Varina most famous for?

The Fuquay area was most known for its mineral springs.  The most famous mineral spring was discovered by William Fuquay.  He believed it had healing powers, and built walls around it.  The water was eventually bottled and sold to local hotels, while many summer tourists came to stay at local hotels, see the spring and try the water.  The mineral spring was most famous in the early 1900s.

4. Why should I live in a small town?

Small towns, specifically suburbs of larger cities, give you the best of both worlds. You're just minutes away from major shopping centers, nightlife, and businesses that are the highlights of living in a city. In a city, however, you don't get the space, quiet, and sense of community that only comes with living in a small town.  

5. What makes Fuquay-Varina special?

Fuquay-Varina is part of the award-winning Wake County school system. It is minutes away from the Research Triangle Park, the premier technology center of the East Coast. Fuquay-Varina is half way between vacation spots at the coast, such as Bald Head Island and Myrtle Beach, and vacation spots in the Appalachian Mountains like ski resorts and Great Smokey Mountain National Park.
