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
