Durham, North Carolina is also known as the City of Medicine for its medical and research center at Duke University, one of the top schools in the nation. Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill are the three cities that make up the area know as the Research Triangle. Research Triangle Park (RTP) is a public/private, planned research park, created in 1959 by leaders from business, academia and industry. The name originated from the Park's relationship with three major research universities: Duke University in Durham, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University in Raleigh. The Triangle now refers to a six-county metropolitan statistical area and a 13 county state planning region.
