About this city
Greenville is a dynamic, highly progressive commercial powerhouse and cultural hub situated beautifully atop the rolling Piedmont foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northwestern South Carolina. Incorporated in 1831, the city transformed phenomenally over the last century from the undisputed 'Textile Center of the World' into a glittering white-collar center for global engineering and manufacturing R&D. Greenville is celebrated internationally for its world-class urban renewal planning, seamlessly merging a romantic waterfall park in the heart of downtown with a trendy pedestrian commercial core.
