Nicknamed the “Furniture and Hosiery Capital of the World,” the city of High Point is located in Guilford County in north-central North Carolina. The city is situated about 20 miles southeast of Winston-Salem and 15 miles southwest of Greensboro. High Point forms a tri-city metropolitan area known as the Piedmont Triad. The city was first settled by Quakers in about 1750, and it was laid out in 1853 as the “highest point” of the North Carolina Railroad that ran between Goldsboro and Charlotte. Since the 1800’s, the High Point has been a leading center of furniture manufacturing, and the city holds the biannual International Home Furnishings Market, which attractions many buyers from around the world. Paint, chemical, school buses, electronics, and machinery manufacturing also play a role in the city’s economy. Some major establishments in High Point include High Point University, which is a Methodist institution that was founded there in 1924, and the High Point Museum and Historical Park. The city is also known for being the host of the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival. The Angela Peterson Doll and Miniature Museum, High Point City Lake Park, High Point Community Theater, Castle McCulloch Gold Mill, and the Theatre Art Galleries are other interesting and fun attractions located in High Point.
