Excerpt from Directory of the City of Raleigh, 1888: A Complete Index to the Residents of the City, a Classified Business Directory, and Other Valuable Information Relative to the City, County and State HE beautiful City of Oaks, Capital of the common wealth of North Carolina, was laid out from a piece of land purchased from Col. Joel Lane, by Commissioners appointed by the General Assembly for that purpose, on the 4th day of April, 1792. It is situate upon the rise that begins to mark the lower from the upper portion of the State, upon easy undulations, only three hundred feet above the sea, surrounded by lands in high state of cultivation, with a most equable climate, and withal presents as many attrac'tions for all that constitutes a desirable home as any city upon the Atlantic slope.
