History

Greenville has a rich history that spans several centuries. The area was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, before European settlers arrived. Here's an overview of the history of Greenville:

Early Settlement: The first European settlers arrived in the 1760s, primarily of Scottish-Irish descent. Richard Pearis, an Indian trader, established a plantation in the area and played a significant role in Greenville's early development.

Naming and Incorporation: Greenville was named after General Nathanael Greene, a Revolutionary War hero. The town was officially incorporated in 1831.
