Mauldin is a city in Greenville County, South Carolina, United States.

[9] Benjamin Griffith was awarded the first land grant in what is now called Mauldin in 1784.

The train station was called "Mauldin" because the lieutenant governor had assisted in getting the Greenville and Laurens Railroad to come through the village.

I-385 connects with Interstate 185 on the southern edge of Mauldin, and I-185 continues west and northwest 13 miles (21 km) to join I-85 on the southwest side of Greenville.

During the Civil War, many of Mauldin's citizens left to fight, and the city virtually dried up.

It never completely recovered until after World War II when the community was incorporated as a town (1960).

[14] Public education in Mauldin is administered by Greenville County School District.
