On April 10, 1869, almost exactly four years after Johnston surrendered to Sherman, Durham was born. There were only 258 inhabitants in the village, and the total municipal revenue was $357.44. The largest taxpayer paid $ 40.62 in taxes. In 1870, there were probably less than 100 wage-earners in industrial pursuits in the town.


The tobacco industry grew at a very rapid rate, using large quantities of bright-leaf tobacco. While much of this type of tobacco was grown around Durham, it was sold at tobacco markets in Richmond and other Virginia cities, and local manufacturers had to pay the cost of transporting the tobacco from Virginia to Durham. This condition made desirable the opening of warehouses for the sale of leaf tobacco in Durham, and resulted in this city becoming one of the largest bright-leaf tobacco markets in the world, now selling from 40 to 50 million pounds each season.


During all this time there were no banks in the town, practically all the banking being transacted in Raleigh, and on days of big sales at the tobacco warehouses it was necessary to obtain cash from the merchants in order to pay the farmer for his product. Such inconveniences could not long continue, and soon two banks were established.


The next step in the industrial and commercial history of the town was the bringing in of additional railway lines. By the cooperation of manufacturers, merchants, and the city and county governments, the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way, the Southern Railway, and the Norfolk & Western Railway were given ac- cess to this market. Later the Norfolk Southern Railroad and the Durham & Southern Railway were added to the railway lines serving the city, giving a total of five railway companies with five lines radiating in every direction.


Durham had now grown into a very prosperous and thriving community, but its citizenship was not satisfied with having purely a commercial and indus- trial town. The people felt the need of better schools and, in 1885, after a heated political campaign, bonds were voted for public school buildings and a tax levied for maintaining a public school system. Today, Durham has one of the finest public school plants of any city of its size, with physical property valued at $12,203,039, and with a personnel of teachers and management that gives it first rating among the cities of North Carolina.

INTRODUCTION


County: Durham County was created by act of the General Assembly in 1881, from parts of Orange and Wake counties. While Durham is not a large county, it is the center of the famous bright-leaf tobacco belt. Between 40 and 50 million pounds of tobacco are sold each year on the Durham market. Tobacco is the principal money crop, although cotton, corn and truck crops also are important. Dairying has increased rapidly during the past few years. The county has good roads and splendid schools and churches. According to the 1950 U. S. Census there were 1,784 farms in the county.


Education: Durham is recognized as being one of the leading educational centers of the South. Its colleges and university, its public school system, its schools of music and business are rated among the best in the South by leading educators. (See Colleges, also Schools).

Government: Durham has had the council-manager form of government since May 4, 1921. It is admitted to be one of the best-governed cities in the state.


Health: Durham has a well-organized board of health, with 60 employees, charged with the supervision of health conditions in the entire county. It has been remarkably successful in its work. The white resident death rate for 1959 was 7.0, colored residents, 8.7 to the 1,000. The death rate for both races was 7. 6. The birth rate for white was 22.4; for colored, 22.0, total 22.2. Milk, meats, water, markets, dairies, hotels and eating places are carefully inspected.

During 1932, the Duke Hospital Nurses' Home was completed at a cost of over $300,000. Two other nurses' homes have been added. The North Carolina Cerebral Hospital (palsy), has 40 beds. The State has taken over the 2,400-bed Army Hospital at Camp Butner, and this is now a mental institution. Durham also has a 500-bed U. S. Veterans medical and surgical hospital.
