The town of Apex, was first settled in the 1860's and was soon incorporated in 1873. Railroads which traversed the county after the Civil War Was largely the cause of this town's early development.

The name "Apex" was adopted because the community was the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond and Jacksonville, Florida. The current town motto of "Apex, the Peak of Good Living" not only captures the name's historical significance, but refers to the fact that in places along the town's main street (Salem Street), water which falls on one side of the street flows to the Neuse River, and on the other side it flows to the Cape Fear River.
