High Point is one of North Carolina's larger cities, a part of the Piedmont Triad region, which also includes Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Initially founded by the pacifistic Quakers, the region quickly became known for furnishings and textiles, carried throughout the burgeoning United States via rail lines.
Nowadays, it is best known for High Point University, a respected liberal arts college, and the biannual High Point Market furniture trade show, the largest in the world. Visitors can purchase more than just furnishings, however; High Point hosts its share of gold and silver coin dealers.
