Kernersville is a small town in Forsyth County, North Carolina. A small part of the town's 17.4 square miles is located in Guildford County, making it the perfect size for exploring on foot. Kernersville was originally named “Dobson's Crossroads” (after property owner William Dobson), with a single hotel, Dobson's Tavern, that served breakfast to George Washington in 1791. In 1817, the hotel and property were purchased by Joseph Kerner and it became known as “Kerner's Crossroads”. In 1873, after the railroad had arrived, the town was incorporated as “Kernersville”.

Although farming has been an important industry, some rural farmland was reclaimed in the late 20th and 21st centuries by the town for housing development. Numerous shopping centers have been built and the town has invested heavily in construction and development of the downtown area, including widening Main Street and adding curb parking, rebuilding and stocking Century Lake Park’s waters, and more. Despite this, agriculture in Kernersville continues to thrive and support the local economy.
