The original residents of Alamance County included the Sissipahaw or Haw Tribe, and many of the names in the area reflect this history, including Saxapahaw and the Haw River. European settlers came to the area in the 1600s. The county was (according to legend) named after a local Native American word for mud, based off of the Alamance Creek. In the late 1700s, the Occaneechi tribe purchased their land in Alamance County and began a Homeland Preservation Project. In the 1800s, as the textile industry grew, several mills were constructed in Alamance County, some of which are still standing.
Alamance County is 435 square miles large, and the population is around 160,000. The county is conveniently located between the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill) and the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point).

Downtown Burlington is an up and coming area with lots to do.
