Greenwich village history marks incorporation and growth through rail era
Greenwich 100 years ago saw incorporation as a village with elections for officials and council. From early settlers led by Henry Carpenter to the arrival of the B&O and Big Four rail lines, growth spurred by a depot, street paving, and sewer plans followed. By 1950 the town bought water land, flood events occurred in 1969, and industrial expansion continued.
