Lee County, North Carolina

Lee County is located in central North Carolina. Sanford is the county seat and is nicknamed the Brick Capital of the USA. There’s a reason for that. The soil here is perfect for making bricks.
But Lee County is more than just bricks. It’s got a thriving arts scene, with murals all across downtown Sanford. The county has some killer barbecue joints. Seriously, try them out. People love the San-Lee Park, with its hiking trails and fishing spots.
The Lee Regional Fair each fall is a big draw in Sanford. History and progress mix here. You can see it in the blend of old textile mills and new tech companies. Lee County has it, no doubt about it.
