You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

    Greenwood is the county seat of Greenwood County in Old 96 District.

    Understand

    [edit]

    In former Cherokee country, where trade in deerskins was lucrative, settlers moved in and began the typical Southern scene of cotton production using enslaved labor, which after emancipation faced the disenfranchisement and intimidation that was common in the post-Reconstruction era. Nowadays, Greenwood has a somewhat enterprising manufacturing sector with entities like Fujifilm, plus a small college called Lander College.

    Get in

    [edit]

    Removed from major interstates, Greenwood is connected to the rest of the world via two-lane highways in upstate South Carolina.
