About Greene, NY

Part of modern Greene was from land purchased in 1785 from the Oneida and Tuscarora people, but many of the Oneida remained in the area until about 1812. In 1792, the first outside settler arrived and established himself at Greene village. The town was originally known as "Hornby", but changed its name to Greene in honor of General Nathanael Greene, a hero of the American Revolution. The town was formed from the towns of Bainbridge and Union ( Broome County) in 1798. More was added to Greene from Bainbridge (then "Jericho") in 1799.
