Wake Forest NC: Then & Now

The story of Wake Forest began in 1832 when Dr. Calvin Jones bought 615 acres of forest in Wake County. Back then, the area was sparsely populated and was known as the “Forest of Wake” or Wake Forest. Dr. Jones sold the farm to the North Carolina Baptist convention, which opened what would become the Wake Forest College.

The railroad came to the area in the 1840s, bringing growth and economic opportunity. The community was incorporated in 1874.

In 1956, Wake Forest College moved to Winston Salem, and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary took its place. The seminary is still located at the original home of Wake Forest College in the heart of Wake Forest.
