Excerpt from High Point, N. C: A Brief Summary of Its Manufacturing Enterprises, Together With Sketches of Those Who Have Built Them
High Point derived its name from the fact that it is the highest point on the old North Carolina Railway. The civil engineers gave it the name, and, while it does not sound very aristocratic to the stranger's ear, it is very dear to the people and it will never be changed.
