Welcome to Apex, NC
AKA "The Peak of Good Living"
The Town of Apex was founded in 1873 (making it 150 years old in 2023!) and got it's name because it is situated at the highest point along a 30-mile stretch of the Chatham Railroad. Our Historic Downtown Apex is considered one of the most intact turn-of-the-century railroad towns in the area.
