The Greenville and Western traces its history back to the Carolina, Knoxville and Western Railway which began operation in the late 1880s. However, the line was unsuccessful and abandoned. In 1904, the Greenville and Knoxville Railroad was incorporated to take over the route.

The Greenville and Knoxville was sold at foreclosure 10 years later, after which it was rechartered as the Greenville and Western Railroad. It was renamed again in 1920 as the Greenville and Northern Railway.
