Greenville
The City of Greenville, Mississippi was designated as the county seat in 1844. It had become a trading center for the region's plantations located along the Mississippi River in the Mississippi Delta. As county seat, it was the trading, business, and cultural center for the large cotton plantations that surrounded it.
