Greensboro is a city in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina and the county seat of Guilford County. The 2020 census counted 299,035 residents, which makes it the third largest city in the state and the largest in the Piedmont Triad, a region of about 1.7 million people. The Greensboro and High Point metropolitan area holds roughly 801,000. The city was planned in 1808 around a central courthouse square to replace Guilford Court House as the county seat, a site that was easier for residents to reach on foot or horseback. Three major Interstate highways, Interstate 40, Interstate 85 and Interstate 73, were built to meet near the city. Its attractions include the Greensboro Science Center and the International Civil Rights Museum.
