If you follow history back two cen turies, you’ll find that what is now the Greer area was a part of the “Domain of the Chero kee s.” After the American Revo lution, it became a part of the State of South Carolina. Presently it is the second larg est city in Greenville County, Named for Manning Greer, who purchased the original tract of land in 1866, it is the only town in the nation by that name. W. T. Shumate bought this land in I 1868, because he anticipated that the Southern Railway would pass through the area. Shumate was right, and the town was granted a charter in 1873. Greer is on the threshold of new industrial growth, with its ideal location in the heartland of the New South. The entire Greenville - Spartanburg County area is growing by leaps and bounds, and Greer intends to be a part of this expansion. In addi tion to its major textile industry, the town is also the site for man ufacturers of concrete products, fertilizers, feeds, canned goods and wood products. There aren’t any recreation problems, and Greer has modern facilities for its young people, including skating rink, bowling lanes and ball parks.
