1. Greensboro

   Greensboro is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is the third-largest city by population in North Carolina and the largest city in Guilford County and the surrounding Piedmont Triad metropolitan region. According to the 2011 U.S. Census Estimate, Greensboro's population is 273,425. The city is located at the intersection of two major interstate highways in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina. In 2003, the previous Greensboro – Winston-Salem – High Point metropolitan statistical area was re-defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, resulting in the formation of the Greensboro-High Point MSA and the Winston-Salem MSA. The 2010 population for the Greensboro-High Point MSA was 723,801. The Greensboro – Winston-Salem – High Point combined statistical area, popularly referred to as the Piedmont Triad, had a population of 1,599,477. In 1808, Greensborough was planned around a central courthouse square to succeed the nearby town of Guilford Court House as the county seat. This act moved the county courts closer to the geographical center of the county, a location more easily reached by the majority of the county's citizens.

Examples of Greensboro in a Sentence

1. Councilwoman Nancy Hoffmann:

   I wish this event had never occurred ; we always grieve the loss of life, but I find nothing in the contemporaneous reporting of this event that convinces me of collusion or malicious action or inaction on the part of the Greensboro Police Department or City personnel.

2. Chris Theodore:

   I actually conned my wife. I said ‘let’s go visit your sister’ and we’ll stop in Greensboro … and I’ll just see what the car goes for.

3. Jordan Shaw:

   Gov. McCrory moved to Greensboro in 1966 and was very aware of the profound impact the Woolworth sit-ins had on that community and the nation, those students were and are heroes to him because they stood up against the ultimate wrong. And their example drives Gov. McCrory to call-out cancel culture where it exists today, whether in politics, religion, academia, business, or media.

4. Councilwoman Michelle Kennedy:

   This apology is 41 years too late, on behalf of the 5-year-old kid that I was Councilwoman Michelle Kennedy and the terror that that sparked for me and the fear that I saw in people's faces for the first time in ways that as a White woman I will never fully understand, I am sorry for what the city of Greensboro failed to do on that day and for the things that we did.

5. Rhiannon Giddens:

   So my mom's folks are from one side of Greensboro - and, you know, outside of Greensboro. And my dad's folks, the white side, is from another very small town outside of Greensboro. So both sides are coming from the country.
