Located 3 miles south of Downtown Raleigh—home to a thriving creative culture of artists, musicians, and award winning bars—The NinetyNine offers the convenience of multiple restaurants, local shops and an energetic night-life within walking distance; The NinetyNine is named for and inspired by the Ninety-Nines, an international women’s flying organization. In 1931, Amelia Earhart was elected the first president of the group—which was dubbed “Ninety-Nines” to represent the 99 charter members. That same year, Earhart landed on the signature “A” shaped runaway at the Raleigh Municipal Airport to christen the field. With Amelia’s connection to this site and its aviation history, what better way to honor the area than with a name that nods to this amazing legacy.
