Linden Park is just a stone’s throw from I-385. Neighborhood schools are close by, too, and they’re ranked among the very best in the state. Heritage Park is only 2.5 miles away with six baseball fields, hiking and biking trails and pavilion. Less than a mile from downtown Simpsonville, the entire neighborhood is designed on a livable scale. Sidewalks run alongside tree-lined streets, and street lamps glow from dusk to dawn. Community entryways are landscaped and carefully tended. History of Simpsonville Simpsonville originated in the 1820’s as a stage coach stop twelve miles south of the Greenville Court House. In 1836 Silas Gilbert opened a general store and 2 years later Peter Simpson set up a blacksmith shop. That same year, 1838, a post office was established entitled O Plain. Business remained brisk until the Civil War and Reconstruction slowed everything in the South. In 1885 Simpsonville High School was established and streets and lots were surveyed for the making of a town that would straddle the new railroad tracks. That same year the post office name was changed to Simpsonville. Textiles came to Simpsonville in the early 1900’s, and the access to road and infrastructure development positioned Simpsonville to where in 1994 it became the fastest growing city with population less than 25,000 in the nation. |
