history

History in the center of it all.HISTORY OF GREENSBOROSaura and Keyauwee Indians called North Carolina’s Piedmont region home in the 1600s and early 1700s, then Germans, Quakers of Welsh and English descent and Scotch-Irish from the northern colonies, and African Americans began to move here around 1740. These pioneers worked the land and shaped the future for generations to come. In an effort to thwart the invasion of North Carolina by 1,900 redcoats under Lord Cornwallis, American Major Gen. Nathanael Greene deployed 4,400 rebels at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on March 15, 1781. Cornwallis held the field after an intense fight, but he lost a quarter of his army, which hastened his defeat at Yorktown seven months later.

In 1807, the residents of the area voted to create a new, more centrally located seat of government. The following year, elected officials mapped out a 42-acre tract of land, paid $98 to purchase it, and suggested that it be named “Greensborough” in honor of Major Gen. Greene.

A CENTER FOR EDUCATIONBy 1767 Presbyterian minister David Caldwell and his wife Rachel had started a local school that prepared young men to study at the university level. By 1837, Quakers in the New Garden community had formed a boarding school for training teachers. Known today as Guilford College, it was the first coeducational institution in the South. A tax-supported public school system was started in 1875, but schools remained segregated until 1957. In 1971, Greensboro redistricted its schools and implemented a busing plan to achieve full school integration.

Greensboro was ahead of most cities in placing emphasis on higher education for women and African Americans. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (originally theNormal and Industrial School for White Girls), North Carolina A&T State University (formerly the Agriculture and Mechanical College for the Colored Race), Bennett College for Women (originally Bennett Seminary), Greensboro College (originally

Greensborough Female College) and Guilford College continue to play a vital role in the city today. As do the newly formed (2005) Elon University School of Law and (1958) Guilford Technical Community College.

A CENTER OF ECONOMIC GROWTHThe railroad was a key factor in Greensboro’s prosperity and industrial growth. John Motley Morehead, a North Carolina governor and former student of David Caldwell, campaigned for two decades to have Greensboro included as a stop on the North Carolina Railroad. Finally, in 1856, a special east-west line of tracks was completed.

During the Civil War, Greensboro was both a storehouse and a railroad center for the Confederacy, a vital source of supplies and troops for Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia. Civilian refugees and wounded soldiers were transported and sheltered here. Greensboro became the seat of the Confederacy on April 11, 1865, as Confederate President Jefferson Davis arrived here after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox to discuss the military situation of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and the weakened Army of Tennessee. Later, all Confederate forces in North Carolina were mustered out and paroled in Greensboro.

William Sydney Porter was an eyewitness to the occupation of Greensboro by Union troops. Years later, using his pen name “O. Henry”, he recounted these experiences in some of his short stories.

Porter’s uncle ran a successful town drugstore in the 1890s. Lunsford Richardson, one of the store’s investors, developed a line of “Vick’s Family Remedies.” Vicks VapoRub was one of his successful creations.

history

Textiles were important in Greensboro as early as 1828 when Henry Humphreys built North Carolina’s first steam-powered cotton mill. In 1895, Moses and Ceasar Cone selected Greensboro for their Southern Finishing and Warehouse Co., forerunner of Cone Mills. By 1920, Blue Bell was a successful maker of bib overalls. In 1935, attracted by the city’s railroad and airport, Burlington Industries moved its headquarters to Greensboro. Guilford Mills began operations in 1946. VF Corporation’s world headquarters are now located in Greensboro.

Another strong manufacturing base in Greensboro and the South has always been cigarettes. Lorillard Tobacco Company still maintains its headquarters in Greensboro.

Greensboro was again a military center during World War II when railroads brought thousands of soldiers here for army training. In 1944, the training facility became the Overseas Replacement Depot (ORD) for the Army Air Corps in the Eastern United States.

A CENTER OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HERITAGEA quest for diversity is a part of Greensboro’s past, with significant events forming the content and context of African American history.

As early as 1830, Quaker anti-slave advocate Vestal Coffin was prominent in the movement of slaves from Greensboro. From 1830 until the end of the Civil War, Vestal and his cousin Levi took part in an informal network known as the Underground Railroad, providing shelter and assistance to hundreds of slaves seeking freedom. Levi later relocated to Ohio, where he was known as “President of the Underground Railroad.” Greensboro’s Guilford College campus was a location known as a hiding place for runaways.

In the early 1900s, Dr. Charlotte Hawkins founded a preparatory school for African Americans called the Palmer Memorial Institute. Located just east of Greensboro, the school operated until 1971, when integration and adequate high schools lessened the appeal of a separate black school. The school now is the site of the Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum at Historic Palmer Memorial Institute, the first state historic site honoring an African American woman.

Two college communities also have played a part in shaping the area’s African American history. Bennett College now is a liberal arts school for African American women. North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, the largest African American school in the state, boasts alumni astronaut Ron McNair and civil rights activist and Minister Jesse Jackson, among many others.

One of the most significant civil rights protests in American history began with the birth of the nation’s sit-in movement at the segregated lunch counter in Greensboro’s downtown F.W. Woolworth store on Feb. 1, 1960. On that day four North Carolina A&T State University freshmen sat down at the counter and asked for service, an act of courage that ignited a spark that fueled protests across the country, ultimately breaking down barriers across the South.

To commemorate this momentous event, the International Civil Rights Center & Museum has opened in the former Woolworth Building in Greensboro’s center city. The Museum and its associated programmatic and archival units not only chronicle civil rights history, but also focus on current civil right issues and freedom movements around the world.

A CENTER OF DIVERSITYGreensboro traces its origins to people with distinctive cultural backgrounds. Today that influence has multiplied tenfold, as immigrants and refugees arrive from across the state, the nation, and the world. Greensboro’s cultural life, public schools, and even restaurants shine with an exciting international hue. Well-known Southern traditions flourish, too.

Chef Kris Fuller opened her first eatery with her mother in October of 2008 but desired to expand her diverse skill set. Thus, the Crafted concept materialized. Since opening Crafted – the Art of the Taco, and Crafted – The Art of Street Food, Kris has received multiple awards and recognition acknowledging her innovative dishes and gastronomic mastery. A tidbit of trivia: Chef Kris was a contestant on a 2014 episode of ‘Cutthroat Kitchen.’
