All about Greenville
Greenville is located in northeast North Carolina and has been named one of the country's fastest growing regions. With access to I-95 and I-40, Greenville is situated in a location that is hard to beat. If you like the sea and sand, then the Outer Banks are just to the east, if boating or Bass fishing appeals to you then the lakes and rivers in the area will be your destination of choice. Whatever the attraction, there are thousands of hotels to choose from that range from luxury to economy class.
Educate yourself and your family by planning for trips to several of the many important historical sites around Greenville. Stop in to see where Wilbur and Orville Wright first took flight, experience the Antebellum South at the local plantation houses that have been preserved and open for tours. Agricultural tours are available to demonstrate how tobacco is grown, cured and marketed.
No trip to any region of our country is complete without an opportunity to experience shopping for some local products. In Greenville the number one product is the world famous Pawley's Island hammocks. The hammocks are hand woven by local craftsmen. If you tour the outlet center, you can even have a hand in building your own hammock.
Greenville has been named Sportstown USA for the state of North Carolina by Sports Illustrated and the National Parks & Recreation Association. Greenville was selected based on a number of criteria demonstrating the community's involvement in enhancing quality sports for its citizens. These attributes in combination with outstanding facilities have allowed Greenville to successfully host such major events as the 16 & Under Girls' Softball Babe Ruth World Series, the NC State Special Olympics Basketball Tournament and the Beast of the East Soccer Tournament.
