Sanford, North Carolina

North Carolina State Bird

Sanford North Carolina is known as, “Brick Capital, USA,” for its historical reputation as a brick producing area.

After several years of downtown decay,  Sanford was revitalized by the NC Main Street Program, and is currently undergoing encouraging growth. Under this program, the network of streets downtown were re-routed to enhance traffic flow and provide greater aesthetics for the city.

Sanford has a population of 23,469 people and accounts for about half of the total population of Lee County North Carolina's 49,040 people.

The climate of the area allows for outdoor activities almost year round, with an average temperature of around sixty degrees and just enough snow to make things look beautiful in the winter. During the year, residents have no need to stay inside.

Sanford NC  is located forty-five minutes southwest of Raleigh NC and the Research Triangle Park, an hour from Fayetteville NC, and two and a half hours from Charlotte NC.

Interstate 95 is an hour to the east, located outside of Dunn NC. Interstate 40 is located about forty-five minutes north, outside of Raleigh NC.
