A little Thomasville history

The town takes its name from John Warwick Thomas, who opened its first store in 1852. The North Carolina Railroad reached town on November 9, 1855, and Thomasville was incorporated on January 8, 1857.

Furniture put it on the map. Thomasville Chair started in 1904 and grew into Thomasville Furniture Industries. The 30-foot Big Chair downtown honors that history; the first version went up in 1922 and the concrete one standing today dates to 1951.

Most of the city sits in Davidson County, with a portion in Randolph County.

Questions from Thomasville

Do you work with Thomasville businesses?
Yes, with the same service, the same prices and the same person as in Lexington. It's a short drive up I-85.
Thomasville is bigger than Lexington. Why is this site named for Lexington?
Fair question. Thomasville counted more residents in 2020, but Lexington is the county seat and where we started. Thomasville businesses get exactly the same attention, and this page is for you.
Do I need a separate page for every town around here?
Just for towns where you take real jobs and can talk about them specifically. A page that only trades one town name for another does nothing, and Google may penalize it.
