Source: BARRETT-REUBEN-SC-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Barrett-Reuben-SC] More of Greenville's History >From Indian hunting grounds to textile center, Greenville goes international By Dale Perry STAFF WRITER dperry@greenvillenews.com <mailto:dperry@greenvillenews.com> Sources: Historic Greenville Foundation; Richard Sawyer's "10,000 Years of Greenville County, South Carolina, History"; and "Famous Greenville Firsts." People have been in these parts for a while. Archeological finds show that man started hunting in what is now Greenville County as far back as 10,000 B.C. >From 10,000 to 1000 B.C., Greenville's winters and summers resembled what the weather is like now in southern Canada. Native American tribes and territories were established from 1000 to 1600 AD Trading among tribes started and wars were fought for territories. The Cherokee lived in the region beginning in the 16th and 17th centuries, and all the land now called Greenville County was part of their hunting grounds. Cherokee had settlements in what is now the city of Greer, and they held onto their land through more than a century of British colonial rule. The Cherokee were active traders in deer hides and other frontier goods with Lowcountry British settlers following the 1680 settlement of Charleston. As the American Revolution neared, the Cherokee sided with the British and staged raids against white settlers in the Tyger and Enoree river basins. Settlers sought revenge and raided Cherokee settlements, driving them from the state after the trail of tears in 1830. With the end of the Revolution, veterans of the war claimed Greenville as home, and in its first census in 1790 there were 6,503 residents. Around 1770, the first white settler âEUR" Richard Pearis âEUR" settled near the Reedy River Falls and established a plantation called Great Plains. Greenville County, which encompasses 795 square miles, was officially formed in 1786. It was named for Gen. Nathanael Greene, hero of the Southern campaign during the Revolution. By 1816, Vardry McBee had generated signs of Greenville's earliest economic development with the construction of a saw mill, flour mill and corn mill on the Reedy River. He also started brick-making and stone-quarrying and opened a general store. In 1835, Greenville's first coach and cart factory was built. <snip>
