Welcome to Fuquay-Varina!

Fuquay-Varina, a charming suburb of Raleigh, remains a destination for those looking for a day-trip adventure or a place to call home. The hyphenated name goes back to the town's history as two separate towns. Fuquay Springs and Varina merged in 1963 to create the modern town as it is now.

The town initially grew due to tobacco trade and agriculture, but has seen recent population growth and development due to its proximity to downtown Raleigh and the Research Triangle Park.

Fuquay-Varina’s downtown district has many shopping and eating destinations including restaurants, breweries, local shops, art galleries, consignment shops and more.
