Zebulon owes its existence to the decision made by the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound Railroad Company, which decided to bring the rail east through a dense pine forest in 1906. On February 16, 1907 the Town, consisting of 297.5 acres, was officially recognized as Zebulon, North Carolina, named after Zebulon B. Vance, the North Carolina Governor during the civil war. Visit the Town of Zebulon and experience the amenities of a small community with the proximity and services of the larger Wake County. Come see for yourself why residents and businesses both agree that Zebulon truly is the “Town of Friendly People.
