Greene is a village in Chenango County, New York, United States. The population was 1,580 at the 2010 census.[1] The village is named after General Nathanael Greene. It is within the town of Greene and is northeast of Binghamton, New York.

History

The village was the site of the first settlement in the town, around 1792 by Stephen Ketchum, and was originally called "Hornby". The town later, in 1806, changed the name to that of the Revolutionary War general. The village of Greene was laid out in 1806 and incorporated in 1842. In 1982, many of its historic buildings were included in the Greene Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.[2] The frequently cleansed Chenango River is a haven for wildlife, such as the great horned owl and the Virginia opossum.
