Winston - Salem, NC (DJI Mavic Pro Footage)

Winston - Salem, North Carolina ( Twin City) is the fifth largest city in North Carolina and the 89th largest in the United States.

This county seat City for Forsyth County was founded when?

The City of Salem was founded in 1766 - but started back in 1753 when Bishop August Gottlieb Spangenberg ( Moravian Church) selected to settle on a site in the Three Forks of Muddy Creek. The area at that time was called "die Wachau'" which in latin terms means Wachovia. In 1766 , the town chose the name of Salem for their settlement which means Peace.

In 1849 , the Settlement of Salem sold land north of Salem to the new formed county " Foryth" so that it could be used as the county seat. They called this land " the county town" till 1851 when it was renamed "Winston". The town was named after the Revolutionary War hero - Joseph Winston.

In 1880 , the US Post Office started referring to the two towns as Winston-Salem. Then in 1899 , the Post Office established the Winston-Salem post office in Winston. Then in 1913 - after a referendum the two towns were incorporated as Winston Salem.

Many nicknames have been given to the City like these.....

"Twin City" - for the joining of the two cities
"City of Arts & Innovation " - the dedication to the fine arts.
" Camel City" - referring to the cigarette history
" Dash" - which refers to the dash in the City's name.

Winston-Salem has a deep and interesting history. Too much that it can't be describe here - whether it's the history in Tobacco or Moravian Cookies? Or the forming of the bank once named Wachovia which was bought by Wells Fargo - you should read up on the history.

Winston - Salem is a beautiful city close to two popular state parks - Pilot Mountain & Hanging Rock which can be enjoyed during your time in the area. Or go by and visit the Old Salem site founded in 1766. Or enjoy many nice attractions around the University of Wake Forest.

Whatever you decide to do - you should enjoy this dual city...
