  1. Tobacco Road

    Tobacco Road refers to the tobacco-producing area of North Carolina and is often used when referring to sports played among rival North Carolina universities. The phrase actually originated as the title of a novel set in Georgia, but it naturally migrated to North Carolina because of the state's primacy in tobacco production. The usual universities referred to by the moniker "Tobacco Road" are the following: ⁕Duke University, located in Durham, North Carolina ⁕North Carolina State University, located in Raleigh, North Carolina ⁕University of North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina ⁕Wake Forest University, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina Three of the schools are part of Research Triangle and are separated by no more than 25 miles and Wake Forest lies about 100 miles west of the other three. It was formerly much closer to the other three, having originally been located in the town of Wake Forest, North Carolina until 1956. All four are no more than 6 miles from Interstate 40; the road is sometimes informally known as the "Tobacco Road". The proximity of these schools to one another and the membership of each school in the Atlantic Coast Conference have created a natural rivalry among students and alumni.
