High Point NC got the name because it's the highest point on the then 1856 NC railroad between Charlotte & Goldsboro. At the time it also intersected the 1852 Great Western Plank Road,(also known as the Fayetteville to Salem Plank Road). To this day it is still reported to be the longest plank road built in the state.
