History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The county was formed in 1791 from the northern part of Dobbs County. It was originally named Glasgow County, for James Glasgow, North Carolina Secretary of State from 1777 to 1798. In 1799, after Glasgow's involvement in military land grant frauds had forced him to resign and leave the state, Glasgow County was renamed Greene County, for Major General Nathanael Greene, commander of American troops at the Battle of Guilford Court House.

The final major battle of the Tuscarora War at Fort Neoheroka in 1713 occurred at a location near current day Snow Hill in Greene County.

Davy Crockett's father, John Crockett, was a former constable of Greene County, North Carolina.
