Chapel Hill, home to about 62,000 people, is a college town in Orange County and one corner of North Carolina's Research Triangle, along with Durham and Raleigh. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the nation's oldest public university, brings more than 30,000 students, and Tar Heels football at Kenan Stadium and basketball at the Dean Smith Center draw huge crowds.
UNC Health's medical center is one of the area's largest employers, and Franklin Street is lined with restaurants, bars and shops. Billboards are limited in Chapel Hill, so most campaigns reach students, faculty and commuters on I-40, US-15-501 and NC-54, which connect the town to Durham, Research Triangle Park and Raleigh.
