Abstract:

King, located in both Stokes and Forsyth Counties twenty miles north of Winston-Salem, is OUR STATE magazine's Tar Heel Town of the Month. Mitchell recounts the history of the town, which began with a simple log cabin in 1826. She also lists things to see while visiting there, including the King Drug Company, Dari-O, Gentry's Hardware, and Central Park. For today's 6,500 residents, the town provides the best of two worlds--a small, quiet place to live with a rural atmosphere together with access to big-city amenities.
