Before Central Piedmont

Below is an aerial view from the 1940s of the area surrounding Central High School before Central Piedmont Community College was established in 1963. Kings Drive was relocated to its present location in the late 1970s to decrease traffic between Central High School and the rest of the campus.

On the right is a rough sketch of where current campus buildings stand today:
