Cary was initially founded in 1750 and at the time residents called the town Bradford's Ordinary. While the name Bradford's Ordinary may sound awkward today, ordinary had a different meaning in the 1700's. Ordinary referred to a tavern like establishment where one would eat, drink, and possibly sleep. It was common to find them located at crossroads between settlements, and typically around 20 miles apart.
