The Dark Corner of Greenville CountyEntry/Object ID
RG134-11-07Description
The “Dark Corner” of northeastern Greenville County, South Carolina, is a region shrouded in folklore, mystery, and history. Known for its rugged mountain beauty and cultural isolation, the area encompasses Glassy and Hogback Mountains and was long associated with moonshining, violence, and a fierce independence. Originally Cherokee land, it became a haven for Scotch-Irish settlers who valued land, faith, and community. The name “Dark Corner” may stem from political conflicts or tales of violence, but its people’s deep connection to land and tradition remains central. Today, scenic highways and historic landmarks preserve its unique legacy and stunning Appalachian landscape.Collection
