Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has an estimated population of approximately 203,259 people and the city is located in Forsyth County. It is sometimes referred to as "Twin City" due to the duel heritage, and other times it is called "Camel City" after Camel Cigarettes, which highlights the area's prominent tobacco industry.

The town of Winston was founded in 1849 and it was named after Joseph Winston who was a well-known local hero of the Revolutionary War. The town quickly became a thriving center for industry. The main goods were tobacco, textiles and furniture. The post offices of the town of Winston and the town of Salem were joined together in 1889. In 1913 the two towns were officially joined as "Winston-Salem". The combined town would be influenced for many years to come by the Reynolds family of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. Recently, Winston-Salem was able to attract a Dell Computer Plant to the area with an incentive package totaling $205 million (this is the combined incentive package from both the city and the state).

Currently there is a project underway which the city hopes will jumpstart the city's economy. The project is to expand the Piedmont Triad Research Park for biomedical and information technology research and development.
