Salem, N. C.

A city in Forsyth county, N. C.; associated with Winston in business interests; and generally spoken of as the dual city of Salem-Winston. The Salem part of the twin cities was settled by Moravians in 1766; was the scene of several thrilling events in the Indian and Revolutionary wars; and was occupied by National and Confederate armies during the Civil War. One of the best-known colleges for women in the Southern States is located here, and still bears the name given it by the Moravians in 1802—the Salem Female Academy.
