Welcome to the Town of Jamestown, NC
Whether you already call Jamestown home, or are relocating or visiting, you will find that Jamestown is rich with history and small town charm.
Founded in 1816 and named for Quaker James Mendenhall, Jamestown is nestled within minutes of the bustling Triad. Our quaint restaurants, desirable shops, welcoming neighborhoods, and involved citizens make our town one of the South’s gems.
A strong sense of community, quality of life, neighborhood schools, parks (Jamestown Park and Gibson Park) and proximity to major employers are some of the reasons why many have chosen to call Jamestown home.
Thanks to our community’s dedication to preservation and restoration and our ever-expanding pedestrian walkways, Jamestown’s distinctive curbside appeal ensures that generations to come will enjoy walking with history.
Jamestown is known for protecting and enhancing our natural, cultural and historic resources, and is home to many treasured historical sites, including the Mendenhall Plantation and Jamestown Public Library, which is the neoclassical centerpiece of Main Street.

SUMMER IS THEFT SEASON!
Summertime gardening is clearly a passion for many of us. Unfortunately, this is also the season when criminals begin to look for an easy way to steal lawn equipment. For all of those who will be out and about caring for your lawn and garden, here are a few helpful tips to deter crime in our neighborhoods:
- Never leave lawn care equipment, lawn mowers, weed eaters, trimmers or blowers, out in your yard unattended. Thieves can disappear with your equipment in the time it takes you to run inside and grab a glass of water.
- Keep garage doors closed. Thieves can easily steal equipment from an open garage even if you are at home. Many thieves are only looking to steal things that they can grab easily.
- Write down the make, model and serial number, along with a description, of all your lawn care equipment. Having this information makes it much more likely that the Sheriff’s Office can locate a stolen item.
- Watch out for your neighbors and call 911 whenever you see suspicious persons, vehicles or activity.
These simple precautions can make Jamestown less attractive to criminals.
The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office continues to work with community and neighborhood groups to raise awareness and improve the security and safety of Jamestown. If you have a meeting or group where you would like for a Deputy to come speak, please contact Lieutenant Piner at (336) 845-6691.
