A Look Back: Greene's History
Greene was named after Nathanael Greene, an important general from the American Revolutionary War. The town officially became a town in 1788. This means it was given its own local government. Over the years, some land from Greene was given to nearby towns. For example, land was given to Lewiston in 1852 and to Webster (which is now called Sabattus) in 1895.
A famous person born in Greene was Aaron Daggett. He was born in 1837 and became a general in the American Civil War. He was the last surviving general from the Union Army.
