The research of the Liberty Township of Forsyth County continues to grow. I will continue
to share my research information as it is found. This little 19th century township was once a
thriving community that was an integral part of Forsyth County. If you have any information
about the residents or business of LIBERTY, please forward it to FCHA.

LIBERTY, now North Winston, was named by a Moravian brother who rebelled against the restrictions of Old
Salem and built his home where he could enjoy more freedom. Liberty Street, today perpetuating the name,
was first called Salt Street because Salem's salt supply was kept in a house on the southern end of that
street.
