One of the six settlements that grew in a ring around Charlotte Township in the 1890s was Greenville (the others were Biddleville, Blandville, Seversville, and Irwinville). Every one of the settlements, with the exception of Seversville, which had grown up around a white-owned country shop, had Black people by the time they were listed in the city directory. Thomas Hanchett observes that due to urban renewal initiatives in the 1960s, it is challenging to imagine these communities as they were, with the exception of the Biddleville & Cherry areas.

Many families and individuals find moving to Greenville, South Carolina, to be a terrific decision for a variety of reasons. It's understandable why this city has attracted so much attention in recent years given the fantastic chances for outdoor adventure, the abundance of cultural events, the affordable cost of living, and so much more.

As part of the Greenville Urban Renewal project, both Greenville and Irwinville were destroyed. Theresea Delerine Elder, then-chairwoman of the Greenville Historical Society, discussed growing up in the neighborhood and efforts made by locals to remain in the area following demolition in an oral history interview with Atkins Library in 1993. She resided on Hamilton Street, in front of the NC Music Factory, formerly known as the Southern Asbestos Company Mills.

The mill produced a lot of rubbish, and Elder recalled washing their screens and doors twice daily during the summer and having fun as a child in a mill waste dump. As she had relatives who passed away from lung cancer and recalled the mill workers as "extremely little," coughing a lot, while also smoking, she believed the mill had an impact on the town's population and especially those who worked there. Elder expressed her personal conviction that the Greenville neighborhood was purposefully destroyed in order to split the community. But the inhabitants of Greenville banded together to pressure the city to enter into a contract with the neighborhood to rebuild certain homes following the demolition.

The cultural and entertainment hub of the upstate is Greenville, which has an award-winning downtown and a significant performing arts venue.
