Kernersville tourist information
The Town of Kernersville is active in preparing and implementing growth management plans. In 1997 the community completed a strategic plan, Kernersville 2020. As a result of that plan the Town formally amended the Kernersville Development Plan to include Goals, Corridors Plan, Thoroughfare and Street Plan, a Transportation Capital Improvement Program and a Park & Recreation Plan. Also, the Town is in the process of revising its Land Use Plan, and creating a Pedestrian and Bikeway Plan.
The Town of Kernersville is rich with history. In 1756, Caleb Story received a land grant from the Royal Colony of Carolina. By 1760 the Cherokee Indians and new settlers of the region were at war. During that time Story sold his property to one David Morrow. The story is told, as represented in the Town’s seal, that four barrels of rum were considered for the transaction. Around 1771, William Dobson, an Irish emigrant, bought Morrow’s property together with an inn and store at the present intersection of Main and Mountain Streets, which he named Dobson’s Tavern. Interestingly enough, President George Washington had breakfast there during his Southern Tour on June 2, 1791.
Traditionally, Kernersville was positioned as the center of the Triad, located equally between Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point. However, Kernersville’s position as a central point in the Triad is now changing. The emergence of the Piedmont Triad International Airport area as a major development center has become more of a central Triad focal point.
