Browntown

… former town in NE Davidson County. Inc. 1843 at the junction of the Fayetteville-to-Salem and the Greensboro-to-Salisbury roads. A center of trade and furniture making until one of the roads was changed in 1859. The coming of the railroad brought a decline to the town and, after the Civil War, it was abandoned. Many of the people moved to what became High Point.
