Downtown Greensboro's Historical Stories
Greensboro was founded in 1786 and named for Georgia's Revolutionary War hero, Nathanael Greene. The town, touched by King Cotton, the Civil War, the boll weevil and the Great Depression always forged new beginnings.
Today the historic shopping district features regionally known restaurants, antiques, art galleries, home decor and gift shops. Shoppers search for the perfect antique or find handcrafted art created by Georgia artisans, all in a beautifully restored downtown where old-fashioned service isn't so old-fashioned after all!
