High Point: Furniture Market Capital of the World
High Point is split across four counties, Guilford, Randolph, Davidson, and Forsyth, and it takes its name from being the highest point along the North Carolina Railroad between Goldsboro and Charlotte. The city's identity has been tied to furniture manufacturing since the late 19th century, when proximity to southern hardwood forests and the rail line made it a natural assembly and distribution center.
The International Home Furnishings Market, held every April and October, is the largest furnishings trade event in the world. The market fills roughly 180 buildings and 11.5 million square feet of exhibition space across downtown High Point for a week each session, drawing more than 75,000 buyers, designers, and industry personnel from more than 100 countries. The rest of the year, many of those showroom buildings sit idle or house working offices for furniture-related businesses.
High Point University, a private institution on South Main Street, has expanded significantly under president Nido Qubein since 2005, adding new academic buildings, athletic facilities, and student housing. The school enrolls around 6,000 students. The world's largest chest of drawers, a 38-foot freestanding piece on North Hamilton Street, signals the city's furniture heritage to passing drivers.
The High Point Museum preserves regional history in a building adjacent to the 1786 Haley House, one of the oldest structures in Guilford County. Piedmont Triad International Airport, though technically located in Greensboro, serves High Point as the primary commercial airport. Interstates 85 and 40 both pass through the High Point area, providing strong highway access to regional and national markets.
