The Greenwood Cotton Mills built Greenwood Mill around 1889 in Greenwood, SC. A second mill was built as an expansion to the first but the company needed more space. They bought the Ninety-Six Mill and Grendel Mill No. 2 to expand even further.

Greenwood Mills decided to build a new factory in Pakistan for cheap labor and other benefits in 1993. This hurt the US textile industry which has already suffered by other companies moving overseas. Just recently the Greenwood Mills were torn down.

The Grendel Mills opened in 1897 in Greenwood, SC and soon constructed a second mill beside the first. In 1923, a huge boiler explosion took out a chunk of the mill and had to be quickly rebuilt to continue production.

Grendel Mill No. 2 became part of the Greenwood Cotton Mills and in 1946 Grendel Mills merged with other big mill companies to become the Abney Mills. Demolishion of the mills began in the 1990s leaving an flat pile of rubble today.
