Maybe you just happened upon Emerald's Home Page and you are wondering where in the world Greenwood, SC is! Here, let me show you on a map.

To explain the southern beauty and charm of Greenwood, let us quote from "A Visitor's Guide to Greenwood":

"In 1823, John McGehee, Jr. of Cambridge built a log house for his bride-to-be on his 600 acre plantation. It is said Mrs. McGehee named their summer home " Green Wood," and later gave name to the small village that grew around it."

Greenwood was chartered in 1857 and is the ninth largest city in South Carolina.
