High Point tourist information
High Point North Carolina
Whether it's a castle born from our gold refining heritage or an 19th century Quaker Plantation, High Point offers something fun for everyone. In 1859, when High Point was named after the "highest point" on the North Carolina Railroad, city founders knew that its central location would attract industry and commerce. Today, High Point draws visitors from 50 states and more than 100 countries for the biannual International Home Furnishings Market, the largest event of its kind in the world.
Visitors also come to explore the region's rich history, distinctive cultural events, and diverse shopping selection.
