Raleigh (/ˈrɑːli/; RAH-lee) is the capital city of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States. It is the second-most populous city in North Carolina, after Charlotte. Raleigh is the tenth-most populous city in the Southeast, the 41st-most populous city in the U.S., and the largest city of the Research Triangle metro area. Raleigh is known as the "City of Oaks" for its many oak trees, which line the streets in the heart of the city. The city covers a land area of 147.6 sq mi (382 km2). The U.S. Census Bureau counted the city's population as 474,069 in the 2020 census. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. The city of Raleigh is named after Sir Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County.

Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University (NC State) and is part of the Research Triangle together with Durham (home of Duke University and North Carolina Central University) and Chapel Hill (home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). The name of the Research Triangle (often shortened to the "Triangle") originated after the 1959 creation of Research Triangle Park (RTP), located in Durham and Wake counties, among the three cities and universities. The Triangle encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau's Raleigh-Durham-Cary Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013. The Raleigh Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated population of 1,390,785 in 2019.

Most of Raleigh is located within Wake County, with a small portion extending into Durham County. The towns of Cary, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Wake Forest, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, and Rolesville are some of Raleigh's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns.

Minquan County, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, is located in the east of Henan Province, the south of the North China Plain, the west of the East Henan Plain, Liangyuan Park and Ningling County in the east, Sui County in the south, Lankao County and Qi County in Kaifeng City in the southwest, and Cao County in Heze City in the northeast. The old route of the Yellow River passes through the county and forms large reservoirs such as Qiushui Lake. In 2010, it was identified as the west wing of Shangqiu's "one nuclear, two wings" development strategy. Minquan County has a long history. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, there were cities, named Dai Yi. During the Spring and Autumn and warring States period, it was the territory of the State of Dai and the State of Song. Since the Qin Dynasty, the county has successively set up Waihuang, Chengan County, Kaocheng and other counties, which has been the seat of the old Kaocheng County until 1783. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the region belonged to Kaocheng, Suizhou and Qi County. 1928
