Named after American Revolutionary War General Nathaniel Greene, Greenville was the business and cultural center for the delta’s cotton crops. The city was built on the highest point of the Mississippi River between Memphis and Vicksburg and experienced gradual growth through the 19th and 20th centuries.

Today, Greenville is the largest port on the Mississippi River. With many thriving industries, the city boasts several economic and cultural advantages for residents who live in Greenville apartments. Greenville’s lush cypress groves, colorful sunsets and multiple blues music venues rejuvenate the soul and fire the imagination. The city also promotes the Keep Greenville Beautiful initiative, encouraging local residents to make environmentally-friendly choices in their everyday lives.

Greenville was named as one of the top 200 places for outdoorsmen by Outdoor Life Magazine.
