Raleigh is the second biggest city in North Carolina and its capital city. It has a lot of oak trees and is nicknamed the City of Oaks for that reason. Raleigh is one of the fastest growing cities in the country and it is named after Sir Walter Raleigh. The Research Triangle metropolitan area is made up of Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Durham and there are three major research universities there. Most of Raleigh is in Wake County but some is in Durham County. Raleigh has suburbs and satellite towns and is located in the northeast part of North Carolina. It is comprised of gently rolling hills which slope to the east towards the flat coastal plain. The climate is humid subtropical with warm or hot summers, wet and mild winters and moderate spring and fall weather. Freezing rain, sleet, and snow are common in the winter. Industry in Raleigh includes companies specializing in electrical, medical, telecommunications and electronic equipment, food processing, fashion, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and paper products.
