Historic Map - Greensboro, NC - 1891
Description
This bird���s-eye view print of Greensboro, North Carolina was drawn by Albert Ruger and J. J. Stoner and published by Burleigh Lithographing Establishment in 1891. Greensboro was established in the early 1800's as the county seat of Guilford County.
The agricultural community prospered with the addition of railroads, eventually becoming a major railroad hub for transportation of goods between the north and the south.
Textiles such as denim and flannel were produced in and around Greensboro and transported, on a large scale, to manufacturers all over the country during the 1890's.
The image, looking north east, includes labeled streets, buildings and railroad routes. The map indicates a population in 1891 of 8,000. It features inset illustrations of the following:
