Book Description
This history of Greene County, New York, (named for General Nathaniel Greene of Revolutionary War fame) touches on the earliest events of importance in the settlement of each town in the county. "To this early history has been added the most important events of 1925-26-27, together with a limited directory of each town as decided upon by the committee." A detailed history of each town includes its origins, early settlers and notable citizens, natural features, settlements, villages, patents, and a section devoted to pioneers and their homes. Greene County towns include: Ashland, Athens, Cairo, Catskill, Coxsackie, Durham, Greenville, Halcott, Hunter, Jewett, Lexington, New Baltimore, Prattsville, and Windham. A chronology of significant events, arranged by town, follows the historical sketches. A directory lists Greene County officials (1926-27), followed by lists of officials of societies and associations. Similar information is then listed by town, including the population from the 1920 census and 1925 census. A list of school instructors (by town) and a brief index to towns, pioneers, obituaries, chronology, and directories completes this work. Numerous photographs of people and places enliven these pages.

Book Description
Greene County covers less than 160 square miles, the western portion of which became part of Shenandoah National Park in 1935. The Blue Ridge Mountains have played an important role in its history. Travel between the eastern Piedmont and the Shenandoah Valley through Swift Run Gap has been a defining feature for thousands of years, beginning with the Native American tribes. By 1736, most of the land was taken up in patents from the British Crown. A thriving village that became Stanardsville developed close to the mountains and was a coach stop on the "Richmond Road." During the 19th century, many small hamlets with schools, stores, and churches grew up in the mountains and at the crossroads. In 1838, the county was formed from the western part of Orange County, and its Jeffersonian courthouse was built. One century later, the Shenandoah National Park changed the face of the county. Today, over a million visitors to the park each year enjoy the time they can spend there.
