The world's largest inland cotton compress was located in Greenville until it
was destroyed by fire in the mid-1900s.
Currently, the largest industry is L3 Communications Integrated Systems, a major
U.S. Defense contractor located at Majors Airport. This airport, created in 1942
and initially financed by the local Rotary club, was used as a training base for
P-47 Thunderbolt fighter pilots in World War II, and since then has served as a
focal point for economic growth in Greenville.
Audie Murphy, the most decorated American soldier of World War II, spent
many of his early years in Greenville. The Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum
contains memorabilia related to both Audie Murphy and the history of the cotton
industry in Texas in and around Hunt County.
