Health Insurance Greensboro NC

Greensboro is located at the intersection of two major highways I-85 and I-40 in the Piedmont of our State. Greensborough was founded in 1808 and was named after General Nathanael Greene. In 1781, Greene won one of the most fierce and decisive battles of the Revolutionary War at Guilford Courthouse. Although the British held the field after the battle, they lost one-quarter of their army while Greene and his troops slipped away. 

Though the city developed slowly, the early wealth generated from cotton trade and merchandising led to the construction of several notable buildings. The earliest building was built in 1846. Greensboro was established in 1808 as Guilford's county seat on a site selected not for natural advantages but for its location at the exact geographic center. In fact, the site had disadvantages since it was in a low area covered by water with ducks swimming where the town should be built. There is a marker in Fisher Park east of Elm that cites this history. Forty-two acres were purchased from Ralph Gorrell for $98 and the town was laid out in blocks of lots. Originally it was a paper town without buildings or residents, named for a Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene.

First, in 1828, Henry Humphreys (the wealthiest man in town) began operating a steam-powered cotton mill north of courthouse square, the first of its kind in North Carolina. By 1833, 75 looms were in production, and cotton material was being exported to neighboring counties and states. Textile manufacturing took an early lead in Greensboro's economic life.
