When the War between the States broke out, the Confederate commissary asked that a proper name be given to the town. That's when Mrs. U.M. Roberts, a member of a group of ladies who would get together and knit socks and other items to mail to their soldiers, suggested that the town be called Greenville after her old home in South Carolina. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Like so many other American towns of similar size, Greenville is a peaceful and friendly community. Family reunions, civic activities, and playtimes for children all take place in a safe and secure atmosphere in Haffye Hayes Park in the center or our hamlet.

The Haffye Hays Park is located in the center of Greenville. It is home to the Childrens Park, picnic facilities, and a walking track which encircles the lake. The park is also home to the celebration of Country Christmas each December. The lake itself transports you to an era of Southern charm and tranquility. The beauty of the lake is enhanced as the lotus bloom opens and fills the air with its sweet perfume during the summer months.
