Welcome to the Upstate of South Carolina - you will find Greenville and Spartanburg two of the most welcoming communities you'll ever have the pleasure of living in or visiting.  We have compiled some links that we hope will be of interest.  If you're considering moving to the area, please don't hesitate to contact our Relocation Department for more information.

Situated in the Piedmont at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Easley, and Seneca are central to what is called the Upstate of South Carolina.  With South Carolina's long history being one of the original 13 colonies, the county line between Greenville and Spartanburg counties was originally the demarcation line to the Indian Territory.  In 1777 what is now Greenville County was ceded by the Indians to South Carolina.  Brave pioneers began to venture forth and found the falls at the Reedy River an ideal place to settle.  Eventually these waters provided power for the burgeoning textile industry that became the economic mainstay of the Upstate through the mid-20th century.

 

Forward looking leaders in these cities had the foresight in the mid-50's to seek out other industries making the Upstate a center for international corporations such as Michelin, BMW and the like.  Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Easley and Seneca are vibrant communites filled with southern hospitality and cosmopolitan cultural activities.
