About Germanton

Settled in 1790 as Stokes County’s original county seat, Germanton offers a quiet, rural slice of the North Carolina Piedmont. Located along Highways 8 and 65 right on the line between Stokes and Forsyth counties, the area gives residents plenty of peaceful countryside and open space. It is an easy drive south into Winston-Salem for work or dining, while the hiking trails of Hanging Rock State Park and the town of Danbury are just a short trip to the north. For anyone looking for small-town history with convenient access to the city, Germanton strikes a great balance.
