The county was formed in 1771 from parts of Cumberland County, Johnston County, and Orange County. It was named
for Margaret Wake, wife of Governor William Tryon. The first courthouse was built at a place called Wake Courthouse,
commonly known as Bloomsbury. In 1771, the first elections and court were held, and the first militia was formed.
Wake County lost some its land area during the subsequent formation of other new counties. Portions were taken by
Franklin County in 1787 and by Durham County in 1881 and 1911.
