Wake Forest

Wake Forest, North Carolina  was incorporated by NC in 1880 as the "Town of Wake Forest College" after the Wake Forest Manual Labor Institute was re-named the Wake Forest College.  In 1909, the word "College" was removed from the town's official name. Wake Forest College has since moved to Winston-Salem, NC.

Wake Forest is located in the northeast central region of NC, where the North American Piedmont and Atlantic Coastal Plain regions meet.

The thriving downtown area is home to more than 100 business and restaurants, yet the area still maintains its historic charm and southern hospitality.
