Mebane, Administrative center in Alamance and Orange Counties, North Carolina, United States
Mebane sits at an elevation of 205 meters, extending across 8.5 square miles between the Research Triangle and Piedmont Triad regions.
The settlement received its name from Alexander Mebane, a Revolutionary War general, and transformed from Mebanesville in 1881 to its current designation in 1883.
The Mebane post office displays a replicated mural depicting tobacco farming, created after Margaret C. Gates won an artistic competition in 1939.
The municipality operates under two educational systems: Alamance-Burlington School System for Alamance County residents and Orange County Schools for Orange County residents.
Former Hurdle Field airport, code 4W7, underwent transformation into residential housing, marking a shift in land utilization patterns.
