History

Winston-Salem was formed in 1913 by the union of the neighboring towns of Winston and Salem, the latter founded in 1766 by Moravian settlers from Pennsylvania.

The city was a national industrial powerhouse in the 20th century, earning the nickname 'Camel City' as the home of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.

Old Salem Museums & Gardens is a living-history museum district that preserves and interprets the original Moravian settlement, with many buildings dating to the 1700s.
