Green Township History and Settlers of Green County
Green township formed from Wheatfield in 1816 and grew from 991 residents in 1870 to 5021 in 1916. It sits in a rich timber, mining, and farming area with coal iron and limestone. Dixonville and Cookport developed as coal towns amid churches and schools. the Purchase Line Academy opened in 1873 and a shift from railless to railroads transformed local centers. Key settlers included Thomas Price and the Welsh families. numerous shops, stores, and early hotels emerged as the coal industry expanded the township’s population and commerce.
