"Decidedly not a "historic" looking place."
"The historic City of Green identity is defined by its crossroad hamlet communities of Greensburg, East Liberty, Comet, Myersville and Aultman. Unlike most cities, Green represents a township wide pattern of growth and development, rather than an urban center that spread to the limits of the township. This is because Green began as a rural township. As the population of Green grew, small communities or hamlets developed at major crossroads. Between 1825 and 1832 the first three hamlets developed at established crossroads. These hamlets included churches, schools, post office, blacksmith shops, tanneries and mercantile services for providing basic services to the surrounding agricultural settlers. These were the towns of Greensburgh or Greensburg (1828 - P.O. Inland), East Liberty (1839 - P.O. Summit) and the smaller hamlet of Comet (1827). The arrival of the railroad in the 1870’s saw the establishment of two additional towns. Aultman (c.1870) was founded by the clay manufacturing industry and the establishment of a grain elevator by Ferdinand Shumacher from Akron. Myersville (1876) was where a passenger station was established and where coal from East Liberty and farm products were transported to the grain elevator and other destinations in Summit and Stark County."
