Cities
The Triangle region, as defined for statistical purposes as the Raleigh–Durham–Cary CSA, comprises 8 counties, although the U.S. Census Bureau divided the region into two metropolitan statistical areas and one micropolitan area in 2003. Some local television networks define the region as Raleigh–Durham–Fayetteville. Although Fayetteville, North Carolina, is nearly 50 miles (80 km) from Raleigh's city limits, it is in the designated market area.

Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the
