Kernersville is a town in Forsyth County, in the U.S. state of North Carolina. A small portion of the town is also in Guilford County. The population was 23,123 at the 2010 census,[5] up from 17,126 at the 2000 census. Kernersville is located at the center of the Piedmont Triad metropolitan area, between Greensboro to the east, High Point to the south, and Winston-Salem to the west. Some of the rural farmland surrounding the town has been sold and turned into large middle-to-upper-class housing developments, and numerous large shopping centers have been built in the town over the past few years. Flue-cured tobacco was the major crop grown in the area and is still grown in some areas today. While Kernersville went through a growth spurt in the first decade of the 21st century, it has leveled off and farms are doing well for the most part in an attempt to revitalize the agricultural community.[citation needed]

History, current events and popularity[edit]
The site was first settled by an Irishman named Jacob Story in 1756. Around 1770 the site was purchased by William Dobson and was called "Dobson's Crossroads". George Washington was served breakfast at Dobson's tavern on June 2, 1791. Joseph Kerner bought the property in 1817, continuing to operate the inn; the town became known as "Kerners Crossroads". Kerner left his property to two sons and a daughter. Not long after the arrival of the railroad, the town was incorporated as "Kernersville" in 1873.[7][8]
There was brief flirtation with relocating the Minnesota Twins to Kernersville in 1998.[9][10]
In late 2005 President George W. Bush visited Kernersville's Deere-Hitachi plant to give a speech about the American economy.
In 2001 NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick opened his shop in Kernersville. Kevin and his wife, Delana, were residents of Kernersville until 2007. Delana and her dad, former Nationwide Series driver, John Linville are natives of Kernersville.
In the summer of 2008, former president Bill Clinton spoke at R. B. Glenn High school. He was campaigning for his wife, Hillary Clinton, in the Democratic primary.
Former basketball player Turner Battle is from Kernersville.
First Baptist Church, Kernersville Depot, Korner's Folly, Isaac Harrison McKaughan House, North Cherry Street Historic District, Roberts-Justice House, South Main Street Historic District, and Stuart Motor Company are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[11]
Improvements[edit]
Starting in July 2008, North Main Street was closed through downtown Kernersville. The improvements included widening the road and adding parking along the street. North Main Street was re-opened on October 2, 2008.
Starting in mid 2006, Century Park went under construction to rebuild the lake that had been drained years before due to a structural issues with its dam. The lake was restocked with fish and renovated, and the park is now accessible from Century Blvd with bathrooms and picnic areas. The project was finished in the Spring 2008. Beginning in May 2009 the public is allowed to fish from the lake.
Also, Century Blvd went under construction in the winter of 2008. The construction extended Century Place Blvd which allowed traffic from South Main St to Century Blvd. The construction was finished in January 2009.
The resident houses in the historical district on Salisbury St. were given an ordinance to renovate their homes to match the current renovations done to the roads leading into downtown along with the new bank and park added further downtown. The historical district includes the famous Körner’s Folly built 1878–1880, and the Harmon House.
In 2012, complete reconstruction of the Salisbury Street overpass bridge over B-40 business was completed. The new bridge includes stone side walls, sidewalks, and light posts.
In 2012, new landscaping was put into place around the Main Street exit and entrance ramps from B-40 business.
Beginning in 2012, construction began to replace the Hastings Hill Road overpass bridge to B-40 business. The project is focused around replacing the outdated bridge as well as making the northern part of the road leading to the bridge a straight shot over B-40 business instead of the winding road it currently is. The project may include additional benefits such as exit/entrance ramps to B-40 business. Such access would eliminate the large distance between the closest exits (S. Main St. and Linville Rd.) and provide easier access for motorists to surrounding areas of the overpass.
Beginning in Fall 2013, road construction began to incorporate a traffic circle to the intersection of W. Bodenhamer St. and Dobson St. The project is focused around decreasing the traffic congestion of the intersection around heavy traffic times. The project is estimated to complete in mid-2014.
Beginning in Fall 2013, construction began on the Macy Grove Road overpass bridge to B-40 business. The project has so far been focused around replacing the old bridge but may include additional benefits such as exit/entrance ramps to B-40 business. Such access would provide much easier access for motorists to the Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center, the areas biggest hospital.
The intersection of Wallburg Road and Union Cross Road near Union Cross Park had been constructed to where motorists can simply head onto eastbound Union Cross Road and Wallburg Road which also featured installment of traffic lights.
Education[edit]

Transportation[edit]

Attractions[edit]
Korner's Folly was built 1878–1880 by Jule Körner, a grandson of Joseph Kerner, the town's namesake. It is now a tourist attraction, as a result of its very unusual design and architecture, featuring 22 rooms on seven levels, and 15 decorated fireplaces. It also houses what is said to be the first private Little Theatre in the U.S., dating to 1896. The house has been featured in the New York Times (March 10, 2006), in Southern Living Magazine (May 2004) and in a televised Our State Magazine production, among others. A model of the house was made into an ornament to represent North Carolina on the White House Christmas Tree in 2001.[13]
In the fall, Fourth of July Park hosts the annual Honeybee Festival.
The Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden is located on South Main Street in the historical district.
Mountain Bike Single Track Park: The Town of Kernersville has partnered with the Kernersville Cycling Club to create a park dedicated to mountain biking. The park (located on Smith Edwards Road) was dedicated in the spring of 2013 with a grand opening ceremony.
The Peyton Parade: Every year on the 18th of September there is a Peyton Parade.
Kernersville Farmers Market: Open Wednesdays and Saturdays from May through October.
Kernersville Museum and the Kernersville Depot (1873 Train Depot): The Kernersville Museum Foundation began in 2013.
