Main Hall, Salem College, with Historic Home Moravian Church (1800) in Left Foreground
The Revolutionary War brought to the thriving town Nathanael Greene's soldiers, and in 1781 Cornwallis passed through Salem. The years after the war until the middle of the 19th Century were marked by such events as the establishment of the Nissen Wagon Co. in 1787; a visit from George Wash- ington in 1791; the dedication of the Home Moravian Church in 1800; the first edition of Blum's Almanac in 1828; and the opening of the first bank in 1847. Cotton and wool manufacturing companies had been organized, and Salem by 1850 was a prosperous center of religion, learning and industry.
By an act of legislature in 1849, Forsyth County was created from Stokes County. The county seat was established one mile north of Salem Square. In 1851, again by act of legislature, the new county seat was named "Winston" in

INTRODUCTION
honor of Major Joseph Winston, Revolutionary War hero. Salem was incor- porated in 1856; Winston in 1859.
Winston developed rapidly as an industrial center and market. The year 1872 saw the first tobacco auction and the opening of the first tobacco factory. In 1885 the Chamber of Commerce of Winston and Salem was organized by far-sighted leaders who realized that together the two towns must build for the future. By the time of consolidation, Winston was already known for its textiles, hosiery, blankets, knit goods, tobacco products, and tobacco market.

In 1913, by popular vote, Winston and Salem were consolidated as Winston- Salem, the "Twin City." The new city took as its motto "Urbs Condita Adiuvando," meaning "A City Founded Upon Co-operation." This motto puts into modern phraseology the old Moravian concept of "Unitas Fratrum," "A Unity of Brethren."
Winston-Salem today is the leading industrial city of North Carolina and the third city of the South in value of manufactured products. The value of Winston-Salem's manufactured products is over six times that of any other city

in the two Carolinas. The best of the old and the best of the new blend to make a progressive city still marked by a deep religious atmosphere, a love for music and arts, and a zeal for broad educational development. As did their fathers of yesterday, far-sighted citizens of today build always for the greater city of tomorrow.
