The town of Hillsborough is the county seat of Orange County, North Carolina, United States and is located along the Eno River.[5] The population was 6,087 in 2010, but it grew rapidly to 9,660 by 2020.[6]
Its name was unofficially shortened to “Hillsboro” during the 19th century. In the late 1960s, residents voted to change the name back to its original, historic spelling.
