Greene County was formed in 1791 from the northern part of Dobbs County.  It was originally named Glasgow County for James Glasgow, North Carolina Secretary of State from 1777 to 1798.  In 1798, Glasgow’s involvement in military land grant frauds forced him to resign and leave the state.  Glasgow County was then renamed Greene County in honor of Nathanael Greene, one of General Washington’s most gifted and dependable officers.  The county seat is Snow Hill, which is also the largest town.
