<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Images of America: Mebane is a visual journey through the history <BR>of a town that has long been regarded by its citizens as "the <BR>biggest little town on earth." From its modest beginnings in 1809 <BR>as a stagecoach stop, inn, and post office, it has recently developed <BR>into one of the fastest growing towns in North Carolina. Mebane <BR>has a long connection to the railroad, a legacy as one of the major <BR>tobacco markets in the state, and a history as a major manufacturing <BR>and shopping center. Over many decades, ordinary people and <BR>forward-looking leaders fostered the town's growth by establishing <BR>businesses, industries, good schools, a public library, various recreation <BR>facilities, and other opportunities and services. The construction of <BR>Interstates 85 and 40 brought many changes while linking Mebane <BR>more closely to the outside world and making it an even more <BR>attractive place in which to work and live.
