Zebulon, North Carolina
Celebrating a Local Community
Nestled in eastern Wake County, Zebulon, North Carolina, is a town rich in history and Southern charm. Officially incorporated on February 16, 1907, Zebulon has grown from a small railroad town to a thriving community while maintaining its historical significance and welcoming atmosphere.
Zebulon’s history is closely tied to the expansion of the railroad. The town was established after the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound Railroad extended its tracks through Wake County in the early 1900s. Recognizing the potential for growth, the Zebulon Company, a group of investors, purchased land and laid out a town plan. It was named in honor of Zebulon Baird Vance, a Confederate governor of North Carolina and U.S. Senator.
After its incorporation, Zebulon quickly became a hub for agriculture and commerce. Tobacco farming and textile production played a crucial role in the town's economic development. The town’s first newspaper, The Zebulon Record, was established in 1911, marking an era of local journalism that helped document its progress.
Like much of the country, Zebulon was affected by the economic downturn of the Great Depression. However, its strong agricultural base helped sustain the community through tough times. During World War II, the town saw increased industrial activity, with local businesses supporting the war effort.
In the latter half of the 20th century, Zebulon experienced significant growth due to its proximity to Raleigh and the Research Triangle. The arrival of major employers, such as GlaxoSmithKline, contributed to the town’s economic expansion. Despite modernization, Zebulon has preserved its historic downtown and small-town charm.
Today, Zebulon is known as the home of the Carolina Mudcats, a minor league baseball team, and continues to attract new residents and businesses. With a strong sense of community, a rich history, and a bright future, Zebulon remains one of Wake County’s most unique and historically significant towns.
 Courtesy of Instagram Zebulon is a charming small town that blends history, outdoor recreation, and Southern hospitality. Known for its welcoming community and proximity to Raleigh, Zebulon offers a relaxing atmosphere with plenty to explore. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or a baseball fan, there's something for everyone in this Wake County gem.

 Essential Oil Use For Measles! Tea tree oil is known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties, but it's important to note that there is limited scientific evidence supporting its use as a treatment for measles specifically. Measles is caused by a virus, and the most effective approach is medical care, not home remedies. However, tea tree oil may offer some relief for certain symptoms related to the illness. Although tea tree oil won't cure the measles virus itself, it may help with some of the symptoms: Antibacterial and Antiviral Properties: Tea tree oil contains compounds, like terpinen-4-ol, which have been shown to have antibacterial and antiviral effects. While it may not directly fight the measles virus, it could help reduce the risk of secondary skin infections that might occur due to the rash or damaged skin. Anti-inflammatory Effects: The rash from measles can often be itchy and inflamed. Tea tree oil’s anti-inflammatory properties might help reduce this inflammation and soothe irritated skin. Skin Soothing: The cooling and calming effect of tea tree oil could offer relief to irritated skin, making it more comfortable for someone dealing with the measles rash. If you choose to use tea tree oil to help manage symptoms, it's essential to follow these guidelines: Dilute It: Never apply tea tree oil directly to the skin. Always dilute it with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, or olive oil. A typical dilution ratio is 1-2 drops of tea tree oil per tablespoon of carrier oil. | Patch Test: Before using the oil on a larger area, apply the diluted mixture to a small patch of skin and wait 24 hours to check for any signs of irritation or allergic reaction. Topical Application: You can apply the diluted tea tree oil mixture gently to areas affected by the rash. Focus on inflamed or itchy areas, but avoid using it on broken skin or open sores. Aromatherapy: Some people use tea tree oil in a diffuser to inhale its potential antiviral properties, which could help with symptoms like congestion or discomfort, though it would not directly treat the rash. Seek Medical Attention: Measles is a serious disease, and tea tree oil is not a substitute for proper medical treatment. Consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment.
While tea tree oil can help with skin irritation and potentially reduce the risk of secondary infections, it is not a cure for measles. The primary treatment for measles should always be medical care. If you’re considering using tea tree oil for symptom relief, do so carefully, under medical guidance.
