County Information
Founded: May 1, 1803
County Seat: Xenia
Largest city: Beavercreek
Named for General Nathanael Greene, an officer in the Revolutionary War.
When Ohio was admitted to the Union in 1803, Greene County stretched from Clinton County on the south to the then
north line of the state. Its present boundaries were finalized in 1819.
The oldest settlement in Greene County appears to have been Old Chillicothe (now Old Town), a village of the Shawnee
Indians, which had a peak population of 1100 persons around 1779. The first white settlement in Greene County was
founded by John Wilson and his sons, Amos, John, George and Daniel, who each built a log shelter at Clio (now Ferry)
in the southwest corner of the county in 1796.
