Mebane, Administrative center in Alamance and Orange Counties, North Carolina, United States
Mebane is a city located between the Research Triangle and Piedmont Triad regions in North Carolina. The town features a mix of historic buildings and residential neighborhoods.
The town was named after Alexander Mebane, a Revolutionary War general. It underwent a name change from Mebanesville to its present form between 1881 and 1883.
The post office features a mural depicting tobacco farming, connecting visitors to the region's agricultural roots. This artwork remains a focal point of the downtown area.
