As much as we love to talk about present day Greenville, our cool little city has quite a history. For centuries, this part of South Carolina served as hunting grounds for the Cherokee Indians. It wasn't until 1770 that the first settler of Western origin established a presence here. Richard Pearis (the namesake for nearby Paris Mountain) established a plantation above the Reedy River, and by 1786, Greenville County was established.
If you're any kind of history buff, then you probably know a little bit about us already.
