Greenville is a city located in Greenville County in South Carolina, a state of the United States of America. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 56,002, with a metro population of 962,441. It is the county seat of Greenville CountyGR6. Greenville is largest city in the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson metropolitan area. It is the main city of "The Upstate", an area with a population over 1 million that includes the counties of Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens, Cherokee, and Oconee in the northwestern corner of South Carolina. Greenville is on Interstate Highway I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte, with I-385 and I-185 servicing other areas of the metro. I-26 is just to the northeast in Spartanburg.

The area was part of the Cherokee nation's protected grounds after the treaty of 1763 ending the French and Indian War. No white man was allowed to enter, though some families already had settled just within the boundary, and white traders regularly crossed the area. The first white man to settle permanently in the area was Richard Pearis, who settled at the falls of the Reedy River sometime after 1770. Paris Mountain, the mountain overlooking the city, is incorrectly named for him.
