General "Mad" Anthony Wayne ordered the construction of Fort Greene Ville in 1793 during the Northwest Territory Indian War. The post was laid out much like a small city with a block like plan and was one of the largest wooden fortification ever built. The rectangular stockade enclosed 55 acres with walls 1,800' long, 900' wide and 10' high.

The Treaty of Greene Ville was signed on 3 Aug 1795 at Fort Greene Ville and the fort was abandoned the next year.
