History of Apex
The Town of Apex, North Carolina—first settled in the 1860s and incorporated in 1873—was one of the earliest towns to develop near the state capital of Raleigh. As railroads traversed the county after the Civil War, Apex was born. The name “Apex” was adopted because the community was the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond and Jacksonville, Florida. The town motto — “Apex, the Peak of Good Living” — not only captures the name’s historical significance, but refers to an interesting fact about the town’s main street. In places along Salem Street, water which falls on one side of the street flows to the Neuse River, and water on the other side flows to the Cape Fear River.
