In 1833 Benjamin Crowley and Rev. Isaac Brookdield led the way in the formation
of Greene County. Greene County was named for Nathaniel Greene, an American
General in the Revolutionary War.
Greene County is located in the Northeastern part of the state of Arkansas. It is adjoined by the counties of: Clay, Randolph, Lawrence, and Craighead. It also borders the St. Frances River, which runs between Greene and Dunklin County, Missouri.
Paragould is currently the county seat of Greene County. There are four incorporated towns in the rural area of the county: Oak Grove, Lafe, Marmaduke, and Delaplaine. There are also several small communities, some of which are: Bard, Bethal, Bertig, Brighton, Beech Grove, Evening Star, Gainsville, Haliday, Fontaine, Hooker, Light, Lorado, Stanford, Stonewall, and Walcott.
Greene County currently has one hospital, four school districts, one college, two technical colleges, and two state parks. There are several factories, restaurants, agriculture, and shopping centers.
