Be dazzled by the Emerald City

Fast-Growing University Medical Healthcare Sports Parks Outdoors Historic

Located along the Tar River, Greenville is one of North Carolina's fast-growing cities -- and it's a college town, home to East Carolina University. It is also home to Vidant Medical Center, a teaching hospital for East Carolina University's Brody School of Medicine. Known as the Emerald City, Greenville dazzles -- from its gorgeous parks to its exciting, fun-filled downtown. From exploring the South Tar River Greenway to camping, boating, and fishing at River Park North, Greenville provides fantastic outdoor activities.

Settled in 1771, Greenville is as historic as it is progressive. Be sure to explore the College View Historic District, a large district with 343 historic buildings dating back to around 1900. The Skinnerville-Greenville Heights Historic District includes 280 historic homes, dating back to 1845. Residents of Greenville enjoy shopping at the Pitt County Farmers Market, tasting the BBQ and brews on the Pitt County Brew & 'Cue Trail, discovering art and antiques at the Uptown Greenville Umbrella Market, and enjoying events like the Sunday in the Park Summer Concert Series. ECU provides sports events (go, Pirates!), theatrical performances, and music events.
