Apex, NC - Did You Know That Apex Used to Be Called Log Pond?
Long before we became The Peak of Good Living, we were just an old, boggy pond. And probably the snake and mosquito capitol of central North Carolina! In this video I'll explain where the pond was and how it's possible to have a pond at the apex of an area... essentially at the top of a hill.
If you enjoy Apex history, have a look at my Apex Is Amazing Facebook page. Lots of videos and other stuff.
