High Point is a city in Guilford County, North Carolina, in the Piedmont Triad region south and southwest of Greensboro, with outskirts reaching into Randolph, Davidson and Forsyth counties. It stands at the highest point of the 1856 North Carolina Railroad between Charlotte and Goldsboro, where the line crossed the Great Western Plank Road, and it was settled by English Quakers and German immigrants before 1750 although it was not incorporated until 1859. Furniture, textiles and bus manufacturing are major industries, and the semi-annual High Point Furniture Market earned it the slogan North Carolina's International City. It is home to High Point University, a Methodist-affiliated institution founded in 1924. The 2020 census counted 114,059 people, and the climate is humid subtropical.
