Travelers-Rest is a small town located in Greenville County in northwestern South Carolina, near the border with North Carolina. The population is approximately 4,100. Known by locals simply as TR, the village of Travelers Rest is just north of the city of Greenville. In the early 1800s, when covered wagons were passing through the area on their way north, the weary travelers needed places along the way to stop and rest. One of these places was what is known today as Travelers Rest. Just north of the town, along Highway 25, a Mr. and Mrs. William Bishop operated an inn, where people would stop before they began the difficult journey into the mountains. This is how the village of Travelers Rest got its' name, as it sits almost directly on the border of the mountains and was a common resting place. Travelers Rest is in a beautiful area, filled with natural landmarks and outdoor recreation. Several lakes and rivers are in the region that offer swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, camping, picnicking and more. The towns and villages also offer a wide variety of specialty shops, antique stores, restaurants, national chain stores, and other services. Today, as in the past, Travelers Rest makes an excellent resting stop before journeying on to other attractions in the area, or it makes a peaceful base all on its' on.
