Welcome to Garner, one of the finest, friendliest portions of what Sir Walter Raleigh called "the goodliest land." Nestled in the exciting, high-tech Research Triangle heart of North Carolina's eastern Piedmont, Garner is a unique and inviting combination of the best of the old and the most innovative of the new.
Nowhere else in the state does the solid bedrock of family-oriented tradition and the progressive catalyst of new ideas and new technology meet and mingle. A truly fascinating harmony is found in our community of over 26,000 people.
That harmony has drawn thousands of new residents to Garner during the last 20 years as workers and leaders in business, industry, government and research look for an affordable, traditional home for their families. With Garner's convenient access to one of the nation's premier metropolitan areas, major transportation arteries, numerous universities, and the world famous Research Triangle Park, Garner has become a popular place to live and do business in recent years.
Because Garner has a small-town heritage, it's the kind of place where neighbors meet at their mailboxes and talk over local issues - where everyone turns out for the Friday night high school football games or the annual Independence Day Festival.
Garner is minutes away from enjoying an exhibit at the State Art Museum, rooting for one of the local Atlantic Coast Conference football teams, enjoying an evening's entertainment with a live performance by the North Carolina Symphony, or laughing with one of the country' s hottest comedians.
Since development has been steady, but not explosive over the last decade, Garner has had time to plan for essential facilities and services to accommodate the growth that's now coming its way.
Today, Garner is the place to find all the opportunities that go along with economic growth and all the benefits of city living in a less taxing, more gracious living and business environment.
