Abstract:
The Great Charleston Earthquake on Aug. 31, 1886 caused several aftershocks in Greenville and Pitt County that resulted in several incidents and reports in the area. The first tremor occurred about 10:54 pm destroying parts of Charleston, SC and was felt as far north as Chicago and New York. There were three more aftershocks. On Oct. 22, 1886 another powerful aftershock was felt in Greenville before 3:00 in the morning which caused some alarm.
