About the Community:

 

Located in Davidson County in the piedmont area of North Carolina, the City of Thomasville, known as the “Chair City,” has a rich history of furniture manufacturing. It’s neighbor, the City of High Point, just 6 miles away, is also a hub for the furniture industry. Established in 1852, Thomasville celebrated its 150th birthday in 2002. An 1840’s decision to pass a state tax to fund a railroad system through the area led to the founding of the community. North Carolina State Senator John W. Thomas had the foresight to realize that Thomasville would be a great place to start a community, right along the tracks in almost the geographic center of the state.

 

 

 

In fact, the oldest remaining railroad depot in NC is in downtown Thomasville. Built in 1870, the restored structure is on the National Register of Historic Places. It currently houses the Thomasville Visitors' Center. As Thomasville’s furniture manufacturing industry has declined over the years, the City’s establishment of the Historic Preservation and Tourism Commissions has helped the local economy while increasing public awareness of the importance of preservation, especially Thomasville’s historic downtown district. 

 

 

 

Thomasville’s 27,183 community members are 57% white, 20% black, 17% Hispanic/Latino, 1% Asian and 4% other. Community members and visitors enjoy dining at one of Thomasville’s great restaurants, visiting the City’s iconic landmark – “The Big Chair,” exploring vintage and antique shops, train watching or experiencing nature through one of Thomasville’s walking trails. Thomasville’s best-known site, “The Big Chair,” is a 30-foot replica of a Duncan Phyfe armchair, one of three local historic landmarks. The chair, located in the heart of downtown Thomasville, is not only symbolic of the furniture industry's presence in the area, but has also held the distinction of being called the world's largest chair. 

 

 

 

The City of Thomasville hosts a variety of sports and recreational opportunities including the Lake Thom-A-Lex Park, and Winding Creek Golf Course. In addition, the Thomasville Parks and Recreation Department maintains more than 106 acres of recreation property in the city. These acres include five playgrounds, three tennis courts, a 7,000 square-foot skate park, six outdoor basketball courts, one gymnasium, two recreation centers, one professional-size baseball field, one football stadium, one administrative office building, and seven athletic fields. Another Thomasville landmark, the historic Finch Field, built in 1935 is home to the High Point-Thomasville HiToms, a collegiate summer baseball team in the Coastal Plain League which draws thousands of community members and visitors together to watch the games every summer. Serving as a major league affiliate for the Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, Minnesota Twins, and Kansas City Royals, the HiToms organization has featured 42 players who spent time in the major leagues.

 

 

 

Just 32 miles from Thomasville, High Rock Lake is the northernmost of the Uwharrie Lakes and the second largest lake in North Carolina behind Lake Norman. Its water surface covers 15,180 acres and there are 365 miles of shoreline. It begins at the confluence of the Yadkin River and the South Yadkin River. The lake's name is derived from neighboring "High Rock Mountain," the tallest mountain in the Uwharrie Mountains. The lake serves as a reservoir for hydroelectric power generation. This 15,000-acre reservoir on the Yadkin River provides excellent boating and fishing opportunities for bass, crappie, striper, bream, catfish, and bait.

 

 

 

Families have local public-school options for their children within the Davidson County public school system and City of Thomasville schools with various other public, charter, and private school options available in surrounding communities including neighboring High Point. Secondary education opportunities begin with High Point University (HPU), less than 20 minutes from Thomasville. As the premier life skills university, HPU enrolls nearly 5,000 students with a 15:1 student to faculty ratio and prides itself on equipping students for the real world. For those seeking a 2 year or transitional education, the Davidson-Davie Community College, located near Thomasville provides innovative and equitable learning experiences to empower individuals, transform lives, and prepare students for enhanced career and educational opportunities within a changing global community.
