High Point is a city located in the Piedmont Triad region of the state of North Carolina. Most of the city is located in Guilford County, with portions spilling into neighboring Randolph, Davidson, and Forsyth counties. High Point is North Carolina's only city that extends into four counties. High Point is currently the ninth-largest municipality in North Carolina, and the 259th largest city in America. High Point is known for its furniture, textiles, and bus manufacturing. The city is sometimes referred to as the "Home Furnishings Capital of the World". The city's official slogan is "North Carolina's International City" due to the semi-annual High Point Furniture Market that attracts 100,000 exhibitors and buyers from around the world. It is home to three universities: High Point University, a private Methodist-affiliated institution founded in 1924; South University; and John Wesley University, a private interdenominational Christian university. Once synonymous with furniture, hosiery, and Hatteras Yachts, High Point has diversified its economy as a center for distribution and logistics, customer service, banking, manufacturing, photography and pharmaceuticals. The High Point Market remains a centerpiece to High Point's economy and the city's most recognized industry. Its bi-annual trade show is the largest furniture and furnishings industry event in the world. It is held in April and October of each year. Approximately 12,000,000 square feet of showroom space is used by 2300 exhibitors, in 188 separate buildings. Over 100 countries are represented through both vendors and visitors. The High Point Market has been noted for being a significant part of the region's larger furniture "cluster", which was discussed most recently by sociologist Richard Florida[30] and initially by economist Michael Porter. The Market and its effects on the city have also been the focus of an extensive case study by urban sociologist John Joe Schlichtman. In this research, High Point's ability to capture the global furniture merchandising market is said to signal a new era in what is possible for small cities. Along these lines, Schlichtman terms High Point a "Niche City", which is "a city that forges global centrality by creating an economic specialization in a specific segment of the global service economy." In 2005, High Point adopted "North Carolina's International City" as its official slogan, emphasizing the role of international business and especially the High Point Market formerly called the International Home Furnishings Market, the largest furnishings industry trade fair in the world. High Point is also the home of Laurel University, as well as one of the nine Shaw University "CAPE" College of Adult and Professional Education program centers. Guilford Technical Community College maintains a High Point campus.
