Thomasville is conveniently situated off Interstate 85 and encompasses 11 square miles with a population of 26,968.  The town is a perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of big city life.  Thomasville is a destination for cyclists, photographers, chainsaw sculptors, train enthusiasts, Civil War Buffs, and those interested in historic sites.  Art is prevalent in all shapes and forms in the “Chair City.”  Several buildings have painted murals on their outside walls depicting life in Thomasville.

In 1840, a state tax was passed to fund a railroad system through the area. This lead to the founding of the community in 1852.  The town is home to the oldest remaining railroad depot in the State. The depot was built in 1870 and restored in the late 1990s. In July 2000, it became the visitor’s center.

Thomasville has the only Civil War Cemetery with soldiers from opposing sides of the war interred in a single common grave site.  Because of its central location and respect for the military, the state of North Carolina decided to place the North Carolina Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial at the state maintained rest stop in Thomasville.  Each year on Memorial Day, a wreath-laying ceremony kicks off the Memorial Day Celebration.

The town of Thomasville has its own school system that serves the residents living in the city limits.  The residents living outside of the city limits are served by the Davidson County School System.

Historically the town was associated with furniture and cabinetry manufacturing. Thomasville became known as “The Chair Town” because of the fine quality of chairs manufactured there by the Thomasville Chair Company.

In 1922, a decision was made to erect a big chair to call attention to the town’s chief industry.  People come from all over to Thomasville and the High Point area for quality furniture at affordable prices.
