Monument to Gen. Nathanael Greene, Hero of the Battle of Guilford Court House

Greensboro, located in almost the geographical center of North Carolina, has long been a trans- portation focal point that in early years contributed much to the city's present size and position.

Because of its central location, Greensboro was placed on the main railroad lines and highways. And when airline facilities were being installed around the country in the 1920's, the city was included in the first north-south mainline service. These transportation facilities and its location were among the more important factors that have made Greensboro natural as an industrial and distribution site, both wholesale and retail.

In its early years, Greensboro became the home of several colleges and is now one of the educa- tional centers of the nation. This, of course, has contributed much to the cultural growth so that the city is a well-rounded, progressive community.

Greensboro, known as "The Insurance Center of the South, " is the home of the world's leading tex- tile manufacturers, is a leader in education, and will soon be a location of one of the world's largest cigarette manufacturers, P. Lorillard Co.

General Review

GUILFORD COUNTY-Settled chiefly between 1750 and 1770 by the Ulster Scots, English and Welsh, Quakers and Germans, the county was established in 1771 from parts of Orange and Rowan counties. It was named after the Earl of Guilford. Containing some 624 square miles, Guilford County in 1950 has a population of 191, 057.

GREENSBORO-The county seat was chartered in 1808 and named after Gen. Nathanael Greene, American leader in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. U. S. Census figures show steady growth: 1890- 3,317; 1900-10, 035; 1910-15, 895; 1920-19, 861; 1930-53, 569; 1940-59, 319; and 1950-74, 389. The pop- ulation is 99. 9 per cent American-born with Negroes making up twenty-five per cent of the total.

POINTS OF HISTORIC INTEREST-Battleground National Park is located on the site of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Here Gen. Greene fought one of the final and significant battles of the Revolu- tion in North Carolina and the losses Cornwallis suffered contributed in large part to his surrender at Yorktown several months later. Maintained as a national park, the site has a historical museum and many monuments, including Gen. Greene, Winston, Caldwell, and the famous "giant, " Peter Francisco.

O. Henry, one of the mostfamous writers of this country, was born in Greensboro. A bronze tablet on the Masonic Temple identifies his birthplace. O. Henry exhibits are to be found at the Greensboro Public Library and the O. Henry Hotel.

Dolly Madison's Well -- This site, identified by a marker near Guilford College, marks the birth- place of the wife of the fourth U. S. president.

The birthplaces of Dr. David and Rachael Caldwell, early educators, are marked by plaques on Friendly Road.

The Greensboro Historical Museum, containing many well-preserved relics from the city's past, is located in the Municipal Center on Church Street.

COMMERCE AND TRADE

Greensboro is easily accessible to a 50-mile trade area with a population of about 1, 500, 000. Re- tail sales for the area in 1953 totaled $605, 745, 000.

Greensborois the principal market of the northern Piedmont section of the State. There are some 1, 500 retail, service and professional outlels and nearly 2, 000 salesmen and agents who distribute a wide variety of merchandise of a much larger territory.

The home offices of several large insurance companies, plus territorial and general agencies of many national firms, have given the city its title of the "Insurance Center of the South. "

Although not the largest tobacco market in the Old Belt, Greensboro's market is growing the most rapidly of any in the section. Reactivated in 1949 after twenty-five years of inactivity, the market has increased its sales faster than any other in the Old Belt. This growth is due mainly to the excellent management and Greensboro's location in the center of one of the nation's finest tobacco-growing areas.

Annual sales since 1949 have been: 1949-1, 935, 084 pounds; 1950-3, 102, 664 pounds; 1951-5, 894, 950 pounds; 1952-8, 681, 812 pounds; 1953-5, 577, 000; and 1954-9, 060, 534.

GOVERNMENT

Greensborois administered by a non-partisan council of seven members elected at large who employ a full-time city manager, an office now held by Gen. James R. Townsend.

Good management of the city is reflected in nationally-recognized superiority in public health ad- ministration, reduction of fire losses and low insurance rates, salability of municipal bonds, efficient police protection, well-paved streets, and modern sewerage and sanitation facililies. These and other evidences of good government have given Greensboro an atmosphere of enterprise and well-being.

TRANSPORTATION

Regular daily schedules include: 18 passenger trains, 184 busses, 32 airline flights, 15 freight trains, and 23 package cars.

Greensboro is the center of rail, highway, and air transportation of the northern Piedmont. It is served by the main line of Southern Railway (double track) that runs north and south. Here also is the east-west line of the N. C. Railroad (southern operated), and the Southern Railway lines: Greensboro to Winston-Salem and Mt. Airy to Sanford and points beyond.

Modern union passenger, mail, and express terminals are maintained with free pick-up and store delivery on LCL shipments. The Railway Express Agency has express service on practically all pass- enger trains. This makes available passenger train express service at railroad freight rates to all points in the State and to a large portion of Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and part of West Virginia.

More than 2, 500 miles of hardsurfaced highways within a radius of fifty miles provide a means of easy access to Greensboro for the 175, 000 automobile owners in the area.

Standard bus lines travel in eight directions to connect all principal cities. Atlantic Greyhound, Carolina Coach, and others operate under State regulations and clear through a union terminal.

The Greensboro-High Point Airport, a pioneer in the Southeast, serves the two Guilford County cities. The airport is on Eastern Airlines' main line and is also served by Capital Airlines and Pied- mont Airlines. In addition to paved runways, the airport also has a weather bureau, hangers, restau- rant, and complete radio equipment.

Greensboro also has a large number of trucking companies with excellent warehouse facilities. The companies operate largefleets in all directions which adds further to the city's transportation facilities. This, and the density of population, make Greensboro more easily accessible to more people than any other city in the South Atlantic States.

RECREATION

Few sections offer greater opportunity for year-round living out-doors or more varied recreational advantages. The extent to which people in all walks of life participate in outdoor activities has a dis-

tinct influence on community health and well-being. Greensboro has won repeatedly national recogni- tion in municipal health contests.

The World War Memorial and Senior High School stadia provide settings for football games, day and night baseball, inter-state track meets, tennis tournaments, and others.

A city-county park provides three lakes for fishing and boating. A recreation center near James- town affords a modern swimming pool with boating and fishing at Lake Brandt. 'Windsor Community Center, a recreational spot for Negroes, is one of the finest in North Carolina.

At Sedgefield, sportsmen ride to the hounds. The countryside abounds in quail and other game and several game preserves are maintained. There are numerous private clubs and camps nearby with hundreds of acres of land and water area.

Sedgefield Inn

Championship eighteen-hole golf courses, municipal and public golf courses, private tennis courts, and swimming pools are offered by country clubs at High Point, Starmount, Sedgefield, and Greens- boro. Atotal of 557 acres is reserved for parks and playgrounds by Greensboro, and a full-time rec- reational director is employed to promote activity throughout the year.

Pinehurstand Roaring Gap resorts are within two hours' drive, and the city lies between the mo tain and seashore resorts.

RELIGIOUS FEATURES

The church has always been a powerful and constructive force in the life of every Guilford County neighborhood. The Quaker meeting House at New Garden (now Guilford College) was established in 1752 and Old Buffalo Presbyterian Church organized in 1756.

Today all leading denominations are represented-Protestant, Catholic, Jewish-and maintain hand- some places of worship. There is a broad religious tolerance activated by progressive ministerial asso- ciations and the Council of Protestants, Catholics and Jews.

The social life of many rural communities centers around their neighborhood churches and urban churches also have highly developed social programs.

SOCIAL and CULTURAL ACTIVITIES

Modern country clubs at High Point, Sedgefield, Starmount, and Greensboro have handsome club- houses where many social gatherings are held: riding, fox hunting, musical programs, dancing, bridge, tennis, skeet, swimming and others. Each year the Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament is held at one of the country clubs with the event scheduled for Sedgefield this spring. This tournament attracts the top golfers in the U. S. and draws galleries of many thousands.

Regular music and lecture courses bring outstanding attractions to the city: concert artists, sym- phony orchestras, plays, authors, and lecturers. Three auditoria seat 2, 700, 1, 585 and 1, 100 respectively.

The famous "Playliker" organization of Woman's College and the dramatic units at Greensboro and Guilford colleges offer an outlet for amateur theatricals.
