Caldwell is a small place in Orange County, North Carolina, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it's not an official town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.
Caldwell is located where two main roads meet: North Carolina Highway 57 and North Carolina Highway 157. It's found northeast of another place called Schley. Even though it's just a rural crossroads, Caldwell is the most important community along long stretches of both highways.
