INTRODUCTION ,,
l
ln 1815 Reuben Reid settled on the farm hwici later bccane the gitc of the village of Reidzville, nawed
in honor of his son David, Governor of North Qarolinl in 1851. The growth ana development of Reidsville p2r2l—
lels that of other and larger induz1riaI centers in the Piedmont section of the atate. The manofactorc cl ;ig-
arettas is the principal, and almost cyclosivc, occupation of the town and employs up»ard of 2,5OO persons.
Other industrial Activity, on a smaller scale, include; the manurzciurs of textile products, in which BGOUT SOG
persons are cnglged.
Although R@idsvil|e‘s numerical growth in popolgtion ha; not been zo great as that of other cities in ‘
the area, the rats oF growth, particularly during the last {gn ycars, has been as phenomenal as that of the
larger cities, as the following populetion figures reveal: ;

general tobuldtions will also be turned over to th-; City winger. Presentation maps and land use maps will
be given to the city for the use ofthe city engineer. Copies of the final report will be filed with the ‘ 
universities, libraries, and proper city sind county dep»;rtrr»_nts. In addition, such agencies es the Federal

furnished copies of the report. ,
lt is hoped that the results of this survey will assist in the future planning and development of
