History

Formed in 1793 from Lincoln County and Nelson County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Green County was named after Nathanael Greene and formed in 1793 from Lincoln and Nelson counties. Beginning in 1799, the county lost substantial territory to the creation of Barren, Pulaski, Cumberland, and other counties, though it gained small areas from Cumberland and Hardin.
