Greenville is a city in south-central Alabama and the county seat of Butler County.

Greenville was first settled in 1819 by pioneers arriving over the Federal Road, the same year Butler County was created, on December 13, 1819.

Butler County's first county seat was Fort Dale, a Creek War-era fortification north of the present city whose site lies near today's Fort Dale Cemetery.

The town was laid out as the county's permanent seat in 1821 under the name Buttsville and was renamed Greenville in 1822, in remembrance of Greenville, South Carolina, the former home of many of its settlers.

Butler County's namesake, Capt. William Butler, who was killed during the Creek War, is buried in Greenville's Pioneer Cemetery, across from the First United Methodist Church, the oldest church in the county.

Butler County's courthouses have all stood on the same site in Greenville; the present Butler County Courthouse was built in 1903 and designed by Montgomery architect B. B. Smith.

Greenville is known as the Camellia City: its residents chose the camellia as the city flower in 1937, and the movement that made the camellia Alabama's state flower in 1959 originated in Greenville.

Greenville has eight separate historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Commerce Street and East Commerce Street districts.
