The Location | Winston – Salem, NC
Winston-Salem’s history began in 1753, when the first Moravians
in North Carolina settled on 100,000 acres known as the Wachovia Tract. Their vision of creating a self-sufficient community made it a haven
for entrepreneurs. Twentieth-century businesses, such as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco and Hanes Co., also shaped Winston-Salem by bringing
remarkable wealth to the city and endowing it with an impressive list of institutions and foundations.
Today, Winston-Salem is
the fifth largest city in North Carolina and home to six colleges and universities, including Winston-Salem State University, UNC School of
the Arts, Salem College, Wake Forest University, Forsyth Technical Community College, and Carolina University. The city is frequently ranked
as one of the best places to live in the US and enjoys an excellent school system and low cost of living. Visit www.winstonsalem.com for details.
The city continues to build a diverse
business base, including leading in nanotechnology research, finance, and manufacturing—again reaffirming the city’s tradition
of forging boldly ahead. With a strong and unwavering commitment to the arts, excellence in healthcare research and technology, and
opportunities for specialized and advanced education, Winston-Salem truly is the City of Arts and Innovation.
