29. In 1920, the city limits were extended to include areas such as Mordecai, Georgetown, Five Points, Oberlin, the N.C. State Fairgrounds, and the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. However, there was a difference between this expansion and previous ones. The boundaries did not advance in a symmetrical fashion as in previous annexations, but instead incorporated development as it had occurred, primarily in the north, northwest and west sections. Raleigh's twentieth century suburbs, Glenwood, Boylan Heights, and Cameron Park were absorbed into the city. Vacant adjacent lands were almost immediately targeted to be part of a second wave of suburbs farther away from the central business district.
