Greenville is a city in the hilly Upstate portion of South Carolina, and is the seat of Greenville County. The population is around 70,000.
Downtown Greenville is centered along the Reedy River to the west. Starting as a little settlement around a courthouse in the late 1700s, Greenville grew due to the flowing water that provided power for mills. The first grist mill opened in the 1830s. In 1876, the first textile mill opened, and in the coming decades, Greenville became a cotton manufacturing town.
Greenville saw considerable growth when Michelin put their North American headquarters in Greenville in 1986, and then BMW moved their American office to the area in the 1990s. The significant corporate presence and foreign investment contributed to new highrises, hotels, and condominiums. Today, Downtown Greenville is a center of activity for Upstate South Carolina.
