Salem cigarettes are named after the city of Winston-Salem in North Carolina. You can probably also guess that Winston cigarettes are named after the same.
Winston was founded on a hill and the neighboring city Salem was founded on top of another hill, and eventually they grew into each other, but the hills earned the city the nickname "The Camel City", which is where Camel cigarettes gets its name.
Reynolds Tobacco was founded and is still headquartered in Winston-Salem. Krispy Kreme, Hanes and Sara Lee were also founded in Winston-Salem and are still headquartered there.
