North Main (Greenville, South Carolina)

North Main (Greenville, South Carolina)

North Main is a neighborhood in Greenville, South Carolina located near the downtown area. One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, it was founded 1813 as a business location. Residential usage was expanded in 1896-7 that continued until the 1920s. Growth was slowed during the Great Depression, but then really slowed when US 29 that started in the 1930s between Greenville and Spartanburg was finally opened in 1946 following construction being halted to World War II.

Since the end of World War II, the neighborhood went into a decline though the completion of the BI-LO Center in 1998 has played a role in revitalizing both the neighborhood and downtown Greenville.

The area is surrounded north of Stone Avenue, west of Mohawk Drive and Chick Springs Road; south of North Pleasanburg Drive, and east of Worley Road, Rutherford Street, and Rutherford Road.
