Pittsboro, the seat of Chatham
County, is in a fast growing area. It is served by State Highways 87 and 902, and is at the intersection of US Highways 15/501 and 64. It is only 16 miles to Chapel Hill and 32 miles west of Raleigh.
European settlers first came into the county as early as the mid 1700s. In 1771 Chatham County was carved out of Orange County. In 1787, commissioners were authorized to purchase 100 acres and Pittsborough was formed as the county seat.

Chatham County is also home to the only known extractable bituminous coal deposits in the state. The area along the Deep River, which forms the border of Chatham and Lee counties, was a major coal producing area between the Revolutionary War and the Great Depression. A fatal mining disaster at the Coal Glen mine in the 1920s, along with frequent flooding sealed the fate of the mines, which were all closed by the 1940s.
Our area enjoys the benefits of a mild continental
climate without extremes. Snow is usually more a cause for celebration than a nuisance, with most traces melted by the next day.
