Greene County, County in Iowa, United States
Greene County extends across 571 square miles of land in central Iowa, with agricultural fields covering the majority of its territory.
Established in 1851, the county received its name from General Nathanael Greene, who served as a military commander during the American Revolutionary War.
Jefferson, the county seat, maintains several buildings from the early 1900s, including the Greene County Courthouse constructed in 1917.
The county transportation network includes U.S. Highway 30, Iowa Highway 4, Iowa Highway 25, and Iowa Highway 144 connecting all major communities.
The first court sessions in Greene County took place in a log cabin southeast of Jefferson before the construction of the official courthouse in 1856.
