Two names become one
Winston-Salem was founded in 1913 from two separate towns a mile apart. Winston was named in 1851 after Major Joseph Winston, a Revolutionary War hero. Salem, from the Hebrew word "shalom," was created by colonists in 1766. In the 1880s, the U.S. Post Office started to refer to the towns with the two names together as Winston-Salem. Following a decade of contention, the U.S. Post Office established the Winston-Salem post office in 1899, officially incorporating the name "Winston-Salem."
Unique shops and restaurants
For grocery shopping, residents have a few choices, including Harris Teeter, Publix, Food Lion and Trader Joe's, all within a 15-minute drive from anywhere in the neighborhood. There are a few unique local businesses like McKay's, less than a 2-mile drive via back roads. Not only can locals find used books and records here, but residents can trade in their used goods for cash or store credit. Hanes Mall is the only indoor mall in Winston-Salem and features chain store favorites like Belk, Dillard's, Macy's, JCPenney, and Old Navy. The complex sits off Stratford Road, the main thoroughfare throughout the city. "The majority of the residents do their shopping at Hanes Mall Boulevard and Stratford Road," Katsamas says. Kickback Jack's is a local sports bar chain serving steak, seafood and pub grub. To catch the latest flicks, AMC is a 2–mile drive on local roads.
