History
Settled in 1793, the area stayed rural until the late 1800s, with paintings of the time showing farmland and a vineyard. The borough, chartered in 1885, is named after "a large sycamore tree along Greentree Road where the stagecoaches would deliver mail," according to The Historical Society of Green Tree. Rook Station on the Wabash Pittsburgh Terminal Railway opened in 1904 which heralded an industrialisation of the area and the opening of a railroad yard and roundhouse.
