175th Anniversary:
1831-2006
As we look back on the city of Greenville’s humble beginnings in 1831 as a village
with as few as 500 citizens, it is amazing how the city has developed from a small
mill town known as the “ Textile Center of the World” to a progressive, metropolitan
city of nearly 60,000 residents with a notable record of success.
In 2006, the city commemorated 175 years of City Services – downtown development,
transportation, parks and recreation, public works, neighborhood services, arts
and culture, police and fire, just to name a few.
