About Greensboro, North Carolina
Greensboro is located in the Piedmont region of Central North Carolina. Greensboro's population is more than 250,000 people, and the city is part of a thriving metropolitan area called the Triad, which encompasses three major cities (Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem) and more than a million people. It is a spirited community with a quality and pace of life that carries with it peace of mind. Greensboro is a safe, affordable, beautiful place that's as easy to live in as it is to work in.
Greensboro evolved from a small center of government to an early 1900s textile and transportation hub, and today is emerging as one of the South's up-and-coming centers for relocating businesses. Two centuries later Greensboro is still collecting accolades for its beauty and livability.
The city is located at the intersection of two major interstate highways (I-85 and I-40).
