In 1919, an editorial in the High Point Enterprise stated that "High Point aspires to become the foremost furniture market on this continent." That ambition was met, then surpassed. Known over the years as the Southern Furniture Market, the International Home Furnishings Market, or simply the High Point Market, it has earned High Point its title of "The Furniture Capital of the World." Grown from modest beginnings, what High Pointers call "Market" is now recognized as the world's foremost exhibition of home furnishings.
