The name of the game for Creedmoor is "convenience"

"CREEDMORE," began its life as a hub and depot for the Clarksville & Oxford Railroads and the Raleigh & Gaston Railroads.

Because of the train service, Creedmoor also became known as "Mule Town." Cool, but why? Creedmoor farmers used mules as the farm animal of choice, over larger horses. Because of their small hooves, mules could do a much better, less intrusive job. The tobacco and cotton industries were so huge, to cultivate the fields, about 40 train loads of mules were pulled into town every year. At one time, Creedmoor was the largest mule-trading center in the world!

But in Creedmoor, as in other parts of the South, its prominent industries phased out. Fortunately, technology and industry arrived, flowing from the nearby Research Triangle Park and Raleigh, the state capitol.

Today, Creedmoor is a small town providing good opportunities for growth. It has a population of 4,600 and hosts events like the Creedmoor Music Festival.

And Creedmoor is convenient, with quick access to nearby city amenities and recreational activities on five lakes throughout Granville County.
