Salisbury dates back to 1755, and was a bustling village of log cabins, a courthouse and jail at the crossroads. From that small village in 1755, Salisbury grew to a small town and is now a small city with charm and amenities. It is still located at important North Carolina crossroads of I-85, U.S. 29, 52, 70, 601 and N.C. 150. For nearly 250 years Salisbury has been recognized for its beautiful downtown architecture and considered one of the best places in the Carolinas for shopping, sightseeing and relaxing. The Salisbury Historic Heritage Tour has near 140 places to visit, including the Conrad Brem House built in 1825, the Meroney Theatre, built in 1905 and restored in 1995, and the Empire Hotel, which boasted a domed ballroom on the top floor. This is certainly a town rich in history but with an eye on the future, as well.
In 2001, the city of Salisbury created a master 20 year plan for the downtown real estate area, hoping to keep the award-winning development and historical richness in balance as well as continue a tradition of excellence and success for local businesses. This included new urban-style living in the downtown area in addition to the historic homes surrounding the downtown shopping district.
