'''The Upstate''' is the region in northwestern [[South Carolina]], also known as '''The Upcountry'''. Although loosely defined among locals, the general definition includes the 6 counties of the '''Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson CSA''' which has an overall population of 1,162,459. The Upstate is the fastest growing region in the state, and given its strategic position between [[Atlanta]] and [[Charlotte]], future development and growth prospects are bright. After BMW's initial investment, foreign companies especially from Germany have made a substantial presence in the Upstate, and several large corporations have established regional, national, or continental headquarters in the region. Greenville, the third largest city in South Carolina according to the [[2000 Census]], is the largest city in the region and the base of most commercial activity. [[Spartanburg]] is the second largest city, principally serving manufacturing activity.
