Ralegh or Raleigh? Surely the latter is more common!

All my life I've seen "Raleigh". And have never seen "Ralegh". Isn't there a city in North Carolina, famous for its tobacco, named Raleigh? If it's *really* Ralegh, then surely there should be an alternate spelling listed in the lede, as well as an explanation, as per Pancho Gonzales, where there are various spellings and a discussion for his name.
