New Hill, North Carolina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Hill is an unincorporated community located in southwestern Wake County, North Carolina, at the crossroads of old U.S. Route 1 and New Hill-Olive Chapel Road (running north) and New Hill-Holleman Road (running south). New Hill is located along the original alignment of the New Hope Valley Railway between Durham and Bonsal.
The community is near the southern terminus of the planned American Tobacco Trail, as well as Progress Energy's Shearon Harris nuclear power plant and the associated Harris Lake recreation center. (The water in the lake is warm year-round from its use in cooling the power plant.)
Rapidly growing nearby communities of Cary, Apex, and Holly Springs will likely one day absorb New Hill. There have been recent efforts to build a water reclamation center in the area to fuel that growth.
