In 1811 Snow Hill was laid out as the courthouse and is the county seat.1
Greene County was originally named
for James Glasgow, but when he became publicly involved in land frauds it
was changed to Greene in honor of Nathaniel Greene, Washington's right-hand-man.
Nathanial Greene is regarded as second only to Washington as the greatest soldier
of the Revolution. He fought the Battle of Guilford Court House which saved
North Carolina from the British.1
