Winston-Salem is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina, with a 2010 population of 229,617. Winston-Salem is the county seat and largest city of Forsyth County and the fourth-largest city in the state. Winston-Salem is the second largest municipality in the Piedmont Triad region and is home to the tallest office buildings in the region, such as 100 North Main Street. It is called the "Twin City" for its dual heritage and "City of the Arts" for its dedication to fine arts and theater.

Other city nicknames include "The Dash" which is the name of the city's minor league baseball team and refers to the hyphen between "Winston" and "Salem". Winston-Salem is one of the state's most affluent communities.

Winston-Salem is home to four four-year colleges and one two-year college: Wake Forest University, a nationally distinguished private university; Winston-Salem State University, a historically black university founded in 1892; Salem College, a four-year liberal arts college and the oldest women's college in America, founded in 1772; the University of North Carolina School of the Arts; and Forsyth Technical Community College.
