lished in 1771, formed from parts of Orange and Rowan counties and named after Frederick (Lord North), Earl of Guilford. 624 square miles. Population, 153,916 (1940 U. S. Census).

Comprises 18.1985 square miles. U. S. Census fig- ures show steady growth: 1890, 3,317; 1900, 10,035; 1910, 15,895; 1920, 19,861; 1930, 53,569; 1940, 59,319. American- born, 99.8%. 27% Negro.

Government


Assessed valuation of all property in Guilford County, $291,387,996 (1949). Tax rate, 98¢ per $100, plus 39¢ supple- mental school tax on all property in the Greater Greensboro School District (1949). Total population, 1940 Census, 153,916 (largest in state).


Guilford County is administered by a commission of five elected at large. It is generally regarded as one of the best- managed counties in the state, being fre- quently pointed to as a model by the North Carolina Institute of Government.


Greensboro, county seat, is adminis- tered by a non-partisan council of seven elected at large. The council employs a full-time experienced city manager. For many years the council has been com- posed of successful business and profes- sional men of demonstrated capacity in their private undertakings.


The council has directed municipal affairs upon well-established business principles uninfluenced by partisan po- litical considerations. Good manage- ment is reflected in nationally-recog- nized superiority in public health ad- ministration; reduction of fire losses and low insurance rates; the salability of mu- nicipal bonds; low tax rate; efficient police protection; unusually good water supply; clean, well-paved streets; mod- ern sewerage and sanitation facilities. These and other evidences of good gov- ernment have given to the city an at- mosphere of enterprise and well-being which causes it to be enthusiastically pointed out as "a good town."

INTRODUCTION


Pilot Life Insurance Company Home Office


The home offices of several large in- surance companies, together with the territorial and general agencies of nu- merous national firms, offering all forms of coverage, have created an "insurance fraternity" which characterizes Greens- boro as the "Hartford of the South."


Greensboro is one of the principal cities for Virginia and North and South Carolina conventions. Because Greens- boro is the focal point of the most dense- ly populated area in these three states, many organizations register larger at- tendance at Greensboro than elsewhere. Class "A" hotels offer every modern fa- cility.


Greensboro is territorial headquarters for many nationally-known firms.


Transportation

Transportation facilities and density of population com- bine to make Greensboro more easily accessible to more people than any other city in the South Atlantic States.


Greensboro is served by a large num- ber of trucking companies, having ex- cellent warehouse facilities and operat- ing large fleets of trucks in all directions, which further adds to Greensboro's transportation facilities, with transpor- tation rates to serve all industries on a fair basis.


Religious and Social Features The church as an institution has al-


ing places of worship. There exists among all communes an extraordinary religious tolerance activated by pro- gressive ministerial associations and the Council of Protestants, Catholics and Jews.


The social life of many rural com- munities centers around and in their neighborhood churches. The urban churches also have highly-developed so- cial programs.


Modern country clubs at High Point, Sedgefield, Starmount and Greensboro have handsome clubhouses, where friends gather for dancing, bridge, study, musical programs, fox-hunting, riding, tennis, skeet, hiking, swimming and many other forms of social inter- course.
