History and Naming

Smiling man in a light blue suit and patterned tie against a dark background, conveying warmth and professionalism. Robert V. "Bob" Godbold (b. 1934 - d. 2013) was a Cary Councilmember from 1975 to 1989 and a proud Cary firefighter. Godbold was a graduate of Cary High School in 1952 and served on the Cary Volunteer Fire Department for twenty years. He owned Godbold Quality Services and was a general contractor, building many homes throughout the Triangle area. To commemorate his service on the Council, Robert V. Godbold Park on Maynard Road was dedicated in his honor.
