　　Across the United States，there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city­but kept both their names.

　　Winston­Salem is one of them.It's a mid­sized city in what's called the plateau(high land)，between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina.The Winston part is a relatively new place，founded early this century.It's home

　　tobacco market.

　　The giant R．J.Reynolds Tobacco Company's headquarters is in Winston­Salem，and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds' best­known cigarette brands.Fast­growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem，so in 1913，people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.

　　From a historical and tourist point of view，Salem，or Old Salem，as it's called today，is the interesting and unusual part of town.

　　Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians.They spoke German，and their community was religiously based，with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories.The Moravians greatly valued women's work and brainpower.In fact，one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women­the Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772－is still in operation.
