History & Cultural Notes
High Point, at the heart of North Carolina's Piedmont Triad, calls itself the "Furniture Capital of the World" and hosts the High Point Market, the largest home-furnishings trade show on earth. That region shares its phone numbers between area code 336 and its overlay, 743, introduced in 2016 after 336 -- created December 15, 1997 in a split of area code 910 -- was projected to run out of central-office codes.
Permissive ten-digit dialing across the Triad ran from October 24, 2015 until it became mandatory on April 23, 2016, and 743 numbers went into service May 23 of that year. Because 743 is an all-services overlay rather than a geographic split, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, Burlington, and Asheboro all draw from the same combined numbering plan area, home to roughly 2.33 million people.
The Triad's economy runs deeper than furniture, including:
- Banking and financial services, anchored by Truist (formerly BB&T) in Winston-Salem
- Textile manufacturing heritage
- The historic R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company base in Winston-Salem
- Biotech and health-sciences research at Wake Forest Innovation Quarter
Greensboro also carries civil-rights history: the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins began at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter and became a catalyst of the broader movement.
