Between Greensboro and Durham lies a small town with a rich history of growth. From the opening of the first post office in 1809, Mebane has welcomed new residents and enjoyed the benefits of larger cities nearby. Its 5.9 square miles are filled with quiet residential streets and parks, as well as nearby golf courses.
