James B. Duke, who has already made the city famous, made provision in his indenture creating the Duke Endowment of and later in his will, for Duke University, an institution provided with a building and equipment fund of almost 000 and an ever increasing endowment of more than twice as much. This great uni versity is now in process of development and will be completed within the next five years but that is another story and is told more completely under another heading.

The station became a town and was incorporated by the act of the General Assembly, ratified April 10, 1869. It was named for the man who gave the land on which to build the station, Dr. B. L. Durham. At the time the above bill passed the General Assembly the town of Durham was in the county of Orange. Exactly twelve years later a bill for the establishment of Durham county was ratified by the people, having been introduced in the General Assembly by the Honorable Caleb B. Green. A slice of Orange and a slice of Wake went to make up the county. Just a few years ago another part of Wake was cut off and handed over to Durham in the form of Carr township. From this small beginning Durham has grown into a thriving, progressive, wide-awake city. Its importance can best be gathered from the information which follows: area: square miles. (including districts within pro posed extension of city limits, square miles.) banks: Nine banks with combined capital and surplus of. Annual clearances of Annual debits to individual accounts.

Homelands blends oral history, documentary studies, and quantitative research to present a colorful local history with much to say about multicultural identity in the South. Homelands is a case study of a unique ethnic group in North America--small-town southern Jews. Both Jews and southerners, Leonard Rogoff points out, have long struggled with questions of identity and whether to retain their differences or try to assimilate into the nationalculture. Rogoff shows how, as immigrant Jews became small-town southerners,they constantly renegotiated their identities and reinvented their histories. The Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish community was formed during the 1880s and 1890s, when the South was recovering from the Reconstruction era and Jews were experiencing ever-growing immigration as well as challenging the religious traditionalism of the previous 4,000 years. Durham and Chapel Hill Jews, recent arrivals from the traditional societies of eastern Europe, assimilated and secularized as they lessened their differences with other Americans. Some Jews assimilated through intermarriage and conversion, but the trajectory of the community as a whole was toward retaining their religious and ethnic differences while attempting to integrate with their neighbors. The Durham-Chapel Hill area is uniquely suited to the study of the southern Jewish experience, Rogoff maintains, because the region is exemplary of two major trends: the national population movement southward and the rise of Jews into the professions. The Jewish peddler and storekeeper of the 1880s and the doctor and professor of the 1990s, Rogoff says, are representative figures of both Jewish upward mobility and southern progress.
