== Fun facts ==
* Since the 1950s, Greenville County has been one of South Carolina's more powerfully Republican counties in elections, but before that time, it was solidly Democratic like the rest of the state.
* Most of the CDPs serve as suburbs/extensions of Greenville. There are a few that are more of their own places, though. Tigerville is home to North Greenville University, Slater-Marietta is becoming a bit of a vacation destination, Golden Grove is still mostly rural despite its proximity to Greenville, and Ware Place is a small town that used to be a speed trap, and other than that, has very little to offer other than a Dollar General, and a Shell gas station where one can get gas, use the bathroom, and/or get snacks.
* Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area, up in the northwestern part of the county near the North Carolina state line is a popular hiking and camping destination. Other popular recreational places in the county include North Saluda Reservoir, Lake Robinson, Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve/WMA, Lake Conestee Nature Park and Cedar Falls Park.
