Abstract:

Union Carbide was a Greenville industrial landmark after it arrived as National Carbon Corporation in 1943. The first plant, which made goods for WWII, was at the intersection of 14th and Cotanche Streets and expanded several times. In 1964, they moved to their second plant at the intersection of Evans Street and Greenville Boulevard to produce batteries. Eventually the plant was closed and the building razed in 1995 to make room for a shopping center.
