About
A statue of John Warwick Thomas (1800-1871), the founder of Thomasville, stands on West Main Street downtown. Thomas, a legislator who led the fight for the North Carolina Railroad, gave the city its name, and the statue is one of the key sites on Thomasville Tourism's downtown map near the depot and Big Chair.
Thomasville Tourism's downtown map lists the founder statue on W. Main Street alongside the depot, the Big Chair and the 1968 clock tower. A separate state highway marker (K-35) honoring Thomas stands south of town near the site of his home, Cedar Lodge.
