History
The village was founded in the 18th century and named for founding father Ashbel Green. One of the earliest houses in the village is that of Elias Boudinot, constructed in 1760 by one of George Washington's generals, William Alexander. The village center was largely created in 1800 by local farmer John Cockrem and his family, which ran a wagon-building company in town, and his son Philip built the local Methodist church and original post office. A new post office would be built during the Eisenhower presidency.
