Research Triangle Park
is one of the oldest and largest research parks in the United States.
Created in the 1950s, the RTP development now spans over 7000 acres and
is home to over 170 companies and some 42,000 full-time employees. But
the concentration of tech research and development extends beyond the
bounds of just the research park itself, and the surrounding Raleigh,
Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary, North Carolina metro areas are commonly
labeled together as the Research Triangle, or "The Triangle."
Like many of the cities, we write about in the Never Mind the Valley series, Research Triangle boasts a strong university and a strong business climate, making the area, in the words of Chris Heivly, "frothy for entrepreneurship."
