Greer Information

Located in the picturesque foothills of the Upstate region of South Carolina, Greer is the perfect combination of small-town charm and big-city opportunities. With a distinguished past serving as a hunting ground for local Cherokees to settlement by pioneering families in the 1700s to the advent of the railroad in the 1800s, Greer has a rich culture and history just begging to be explored. Greer was founded by a man named James Manning Greer, whose ancestry traces from Scotland through Ireland. Many of his descendents still reside in the area. Prior to the American Revolutionary War, the area was known as part of the "Domain of the Cherokees," and in 1777 the area was added to the state of South Carolina. In 1873, when the Richmond and Danville Air Line Railway was built between Atlanta and Charlotte, a train station was built named Greer's Station. A hundred years later, the name of the town was officially changed to the City of Greer.

Downtown Greer still remains the heart of the city. The city began as Greer's Station, just a small stop on the Richmond and Danville Air Line Railway. The city has now grown around it, but you can still visit historic Greer's Station. It is now home to many city events and some of the city's oldest religious institutions along with unique shopping and delicious dining. Check their calendar of events because there's always something going on, ranging from live music to sushi making classes. If you're traveling with kids, one of the best things to do is visit Kids Planet at Century Park. The playground structure is the largest in the Greenville area. It's perfect for a nice afternoon picnic with grills on site.

For some fun in the sun, head towards to coast to visit Myrtle Beach. It's all at once a spring break destination, golfing destination, retirement community, and family vacation spot. Take a stroll down the boardwalk with a classic ice cream done on your way to watch the fishermen at Springmaid Pier. Of course, you can always keep it simple with a trip to one of the many beaches of the Grand Stand. Head to the next state to the west and find yourself in Atlanta, Georgia. With world-class restaurants, great cultural attractions, a hip nightlife, and spirited sporting events, there's something in Atlanta for everyone. Visit the Atlanta History Center, the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, or the Jimmy Carter Library.

Candleberry Inn B&B & Day Spa is so beautiful and picturesque that it's even a popular wedding venue. It's the perfect destination for a romantic getaway, and close to the airport to boot. For a more traditional stay, Greer has a number of large chain hotels to choose from like Holiday Inn Express, Super 8, and Quality Inn making it easy to find the perfect hotel and book your stay.

Greer is also served by Amtrak which stops in both Greenville and Spartanburg. If you are coming by car, Interstate 85 passes to the south, and U.S. Route 29 runs through the city connecting Greenville and Spartanburg.
