Hillsborough was an important town in the early America.
Hillsborough experienced the struggle for independence firsthand with the Regulator movement, protests against unfair taxation, and as the location for the Third North Carolina Provincial Congress where North Carolina prepared to separate from Great Britain.
The North Carolina General Assembly met in Hillsborough during the Revolution in 1778 and 1782 following the Battle of Yorktown. It also met in Hillsborough before the signing of the Treaty of Paris ending the American Revolution. Notable figures in Hillsborough during the Revolution included General Francis Nash and William Hooper, one of three signers of the Declaration of Independence from North Carolina.
