What to Know Before You Go

Greenville's story as a commercial center begins well before the Civil War. The Reedy River, which cuts through the heart of the city, powered some of the earliest textile mills in the South Carolina Piedmont, drawing merchants, traders, and professional families to the area as far back as the 1820s. The town was formally laid out by Vardy McBee in 1797 on land that had been part of the Cherokee territory ceded in the late eighteenth century, and by the time Greenville was incorporated in 1831 it had established itself as one of the most prosperous inland towns in the Carolinas. Furman University, founded in 1826, anchored an educated professional class from the city's earliest decades. Banks, hotels, and a merchant class whose wealth expressed itself in gold jewelry, silver flatware, and coin collections built the foundations of what would become one of the most celebrated mid-size cities in America. The arrival of the railroad in the 1850s accelerated that growth dramatically, connecting Greenville to Charleston, Columbia, and the broader national economy and cementing its role as the commercial capital of the South Carolina Upstate. The antebellum plantation families of Greenville County accumulated Liberty Head gold coins, early Bust and Seated Liberty silver, and the kind of estate collections that still surface in Greenville-area probate proceedings today, and the national bank notes issued by the Greenville National Bank and the First National Bank of Greenville are among the most actively collected South Carolina currency items.

The textile era that followed the Civil War transformed Greenville into one of the most productive manufacturing regions in the world. At its peak in the early twentieth century, Greenville County was home to more textile operations than almost any comparable area in the United States, and the prosperity of that era left behind generations of savers who accumulated pre-1933 gold coins, pre-1964 silver coins, silver certificates, and Confederate currency that now surfaces regularly through estate sales and inheritance. The families who managed those operations built estates whose coin and currency collections are among the most interesting in the Southeast. Bob Jones University, founded in 1927 and relocated to Greenville in 1947, added another layer of professional and academic families to the city's collecting culture.

The decline of the textile industry in the 1970s and 1980s was followed by one of the most remarkable urban reinventions in American history. Greenville's downtown was rebuilt from the ground up over three decades into one of the most celebrated small-city downtowns in the country. BMW Manufacturing chose Greenville County for its American production facility in 1994, and the plant in nearby Greer has grown into the largest BMW manufacturing operation in the world. Michelin North America has been headquartered in Greenville since 1984, drawing French and European professionals to the city for four decades and adding an international dimension to the estate landscape that is unlike anything else in South Carolina. The Peace Center for the Performing Arts, the Greenville County Museum of Art, and a thriving restaurant and hospitality scene have made Greenville a destination city that draws new residents from across the country.
