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).
Alamance County is served by the Alamance-Burlington School System, which serves around 23,000 students. Charter schools in the county include River Mill Academy (kindergarten - 12th grade), Hawbridge School (4th - 12th grades), and Clover Garden School (kindergarten - 12th grade). There are also several private schools in Alamance County, including The Burlington School (preschool - 12th grade), Bradford Academy (kindergarten - 10th grade), and Children's House Montessori (ages 2 - 15).
Colleges and universities in the county include Elon University, a small private university, and Alamance Community College.
Popular spots for shopping in Alamance County include the outlet mall in Mebane, which hosts tons of outlets, including J.Crew, Banana Republic, Cole Haan, Le Creuset, and much more, and Alamance Crossing, a shopping mall in Burlington with stores like American Eagle and Barnes and Noble.

Downtown Burlington is an up and coming area with lots to do. During the summers, check out 4th Fridays - on the 4th Friday of each month, there is a music festival downtown with food trucks, craft beer, activities for kids, and more. The city hosts a variety of other events throughout the year, including a Halloween celebration. Other active downtowns in Alamance County include Mebane and Graham.
