It is the third-most populous city in North Carolina after Charlotte and Raleigh, the 69th-most populous city in the United States, and the largest city in the Piedmont Triad metropolitan region. At the 2020 census, its population was 299,035. Three major interstate highways (Interstate 40, Interstate 85, and Interstate 73) in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina were built to intersect at this city.

In 2003, the previous Greensboro–Winston-Salem– High Point metropolitan statistical area was redefin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
