Excerpt from Forsyth a County on the March
The year 1949 is the moth anniversary of Forsyth County and of its county seat, Winston. It marks the completion of a century of achievement in our community.
These past 100 years have seen the birth of Forsyth County and the joining of the quaint old town of Salem in 1913 with the newer industrial city of Winston. During this span of years our smaller towns have also flourished, and rural Forsyth County has assumed a position of leadership in the State.
