History

The location of Greenville was originally a camp on the north side of a ford on the Beaver River, along the Mormon Road until 1855. That year, the road was rerouted up river to the crossing at what later became Beaver. Greenville was first settled in 1861. The community was named for the thick green grass which covered the original town site.
