Understand
The Research Triangle, also known to the locals as the Triangle, is a region consisting of 3 anchor cities, Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, and everything in between. The name, "Triangle" was originally coined to refer to the three universities, North Carolina State University, Duke University, and the University of North Carolina, all fierce rivals. One of the largest research parks in the world, Research Triangle Park is located in the area, and has attracted both large companies and high numbers of immigrants from other parts of the United States, as well as all over the world.
