The History of Green

Green Township originally formed in 1809 as part of Stark County. The township became part of Summit County after the new county was established in 1840. Green hosted a number of unincorporated hamlets, most notably, Greensburg. By the year 1900, five unincorporated settlements were a part of Green Township, and the area was surrounded by farmlands growing valuable crops and areas of coal. At that point, the local economy experienced a transition from farming to business and manufacturing.

By 1950, farmers started to sell land to developers for residential housing developments, and the increased development led to a discussion about becoming an official city. Voters approved the merger of the village with the rest of the township in 1991. In the beginning of that year, Green Township was officially incorporated as the Village of Green, and it was declared a city in 1992. The first mayor of the city was John Torok.

Green is a charming suburban city maintaining a small-town feel. However, the city is not small in land size, as it encompasses 34 square miles of five interconnected burgs, including Aultman, Comet, East Liberty, Greensburg, and Myersville. Just within the past decade or so, new housing developments, major health and wellness facilities, and upscale shopping areas have redefined the once rural landscape. Green is not only increasing in population; it has acquired a number of new businesses in recent years. Major businesses with headquarters in Green include Diebold Nixdorf, FedEx, Fannie May, UTC Aerospace Systems, and more.

Green is home to the MAPS Air Museum, a museum displaying aircraft in a former U.S. Air National Guard hangar. Green maintains 10 carefully planned parks enveloping more than 530 acres of land, including the new Central Park, with an amphitheater, a splash pad, a playground, walking trails, and a pavilion. A farmers’ market meets at Central Park during the spring and summer.
