Green is a small place in Elliott County, Kentucky, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it is a group of homes and buildings that is not officially a town or city. It does not have its own local government.
What is an Unincorporated Community?
An unincorporated community is a place where people live together. However, it does not have its own city government. Instead, it is usually governed by the larger county it is in. This is different from a city or town, which has its own mayor and city council.
How Green Got Its Name
Green has a bit of history. A post office was opened there in 1899. The community was named after Robert Kilgore Green. He was one of the first people to settle in that area. Over time, the post office in Green eventually closed down.
