Home to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, this storied university town has been around for more than 220 years. It's home to the first state university and the greatest college basketball program in history. While the university is the heart of the town, Franklin Street is the main artery. East Franklin is where the kids hang out and West Franklin is where they go when they grow up.
