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
to
the
nation's
biggest
openair
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.
