About King

The beautiful town of King is located on the border of Stokes and Forsyth Counties, and it has a population of about 6,000 residents. The town is considered part of the Piedmont Triad metropolitan area, which is located northwest of Winston-Salem. King’s Cabin was the original name of the settlement because Charles King and Francis King, some of the first settlers in the area, lived in a cabin located there for some time during the 1830’s. After they left the cabin, the building was used by locals as a landmark and reference point when giving directions. When a post office was established in the area in 1888, it was named for that reference point. When the railroad was built through the settlement a few years later, the name was shortened to King, and in 1983, the town of King was officially incorporated.
