Lindley Guilford residents grow accustomed to a familiar sight from Friendship Airport. Guilford College began in 1837 as New Garden Friends Boarding School and has grown into a co-educational college of over one thousand students. The New Garden Friends Meeting bought fifty acres of land in 1757 for a church from Richard Williams, an early Quaker settler, for five shil- lings. In 1837 fifty students enter- ed the New Garden Boarding school, built near this land in the middle of a few scattered farms. Being the best school in the area, it attracted many students and also more fam- ilies. Today this school is known as Guilford College and is surrounded by many new homes and apartments, a huge airport, a new high school, various businesses and in- dustries, an interstate highway, and a continually expanding shopping center.
