About Greenville South Carolina (courtesy of Wikipedia) Greenville is the county seat of and largest city in Greenville CountyGR6 South Carolina, United States. Greenville, with its historic homes and modern office towers, has been described as where "Old South" meets "New South". Greenville's Combined Statistical Area (CSA) population is 1,185,534 according to 2005 estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau. Greenville County is the most populous in the state at 407,383, but because its city limits enclose less than 30 square miles, the population of the city proper is 56,002 (2000 U.S. Census). The city of Greenville is one of the most densely populated cities in the state, while Greenville County has the highest population density of any county in South Carolina. Greenville is the primary city of "The Upstate" of South Carolina, an area that includes the six counties of northwestern South Carolina along the borders of North Carolina and Georgia. Greenville is on Interstate Highway I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte, with I-385 and I-185 servicing other areas of the metro. I-26 is just to the northeast in Spartanburg. The area was part of the Cherokee nation's protected grounds after the treaty of 1763 ending the French and Indian War. No white man was allowed to enter, though some families already had settled just within the boundary, and white traders regularly crossed the area. The first white man to settle permanently in the area was Richard Pearis, who settled at the falls of the Reedy River sometime after 1770. Paris Mountain, the mountain overlooking the city, is incorrectly named for him. During the Revolution, the Cherokee (and Pearis) sided with the British. After a campaign in 1776, the Cherokee agreed to the Treaty of DeWitt's Corner ceding territory that includes present-day Greenville County to South Carolina. Greenville was originally called Pleasantburg. Greenville County was created in 1786, but was called Greenville District from 1800 until 1868. The area is probably named for American Revolutionary General Nathanael Greene. << Back to Greenville South Carolina Bed & Breakfast Directory
