Greer, SC Houses From the Mill Era to Now
Greer grew from James Manning Greer's farm. According to the city's own history, he traded land to the railroad for a wagon and a team of mules. The Southern Railroad was finished in 1873, and the town incorporated on March 25, 1876 as "Greers," dropping the "s" later. The Piedmont and Northern laid its own tracks through in 1914.
Mills such as Victor, Apalache and Franklin brought rows of worker housing, and some of those homes are still standing. Later growth followed the airport, I-85 and a major automaker's plant, filling in subdivisions where many first roofs are now wearing out.
