History
The village was founded in the 18th century and was named for founding father Ashbel Green.[10] One of the earliest houses in the village is that of Elias Boudinot constructed in 1760 by one of George Washington's generals William Alexander, Lord Stirling.[10] The village center was largely created in 1800 by local farmer John Cockrem and his family which ran a wagon-building company in town and his son Philip built the local Methodist church and original post office.[10] A new post office would be built during the Eisenhower presidency.[10]
