Greensboro, NC, sits as the county seat for Guilford County, and it is the third most-populated city in the state of North Carolina. The city was first occupied by Quaker migrants and later named after Major General Nathanael Greene following the Revolutionary War. The city continued to grow rapidly after the growth of railroads and manufacturing industries. Greensboro is often known for its mark on history with the sit-ins that occurred during the Civil Rights Movement. Not only does the city have a rich history, but it is also home to one of the best science centers in North Carolina, and it plays host to a variety of special events throughout the year.
