The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Danbury was founded in 1851 specifically to serve as the new centrally located county seat after Stokes County was divided in 1849, creating Forsyth County to the south (with the new county seat of Winston, later Winston-Salem) and a smaller Stokes County. Danbury was briefly known as Crawford.
