Greene is an unincorporated village and census-designated place in the western portion of the town of Coventry, Rhode Island, United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 888. It is 2 miles (3 km) east of the Connecticut be bordering to and the thesame distance north of West Greenwich. The herald derives from Nathanael Greene, a Rhode Island-born general in the American Revolution.
Until 1854 Greene was a swamp subsequent to a cart path supervision through it. The lane connected Hopkins Hollow to the south and Rice City to the north. In the before 1850s, the railroad came to the area. The native train stop was known as “Coffin Station” because Coffin Road was the nearest road. In 1856 railroad officials renamed the station “Greene” after the Revolutionary War hero. It was settled to build a depot where local farmers could sell their manufacture to the trains heading towards Providence and Hartford. Within a few years of opening, the Greene depot was the most important station in western Rhode Island. Every daylight farmers would bring their manufacture to sell to the 7:25 milk train going to Providence.
As the station grew in importance, a village grew up nearly it, sending large amounts of milk, wood and cranberries via train. Eventually, a school, church, library, and meeting hall were built, as capably as a religious campground in the Greene area, where the Advent Christian Church held annual camp meetings starting in 1880 upon what was before part of the Peckham estate. The religious campground was perhaps the most important one in Rhode Island, where all summer, camp meetings were held in the style more commonly found in the South and in the Mid-West. The railroad would add on extra cars to their trains, and up to 10,000 people would attend. After the introduction of the 20th century, the camp meeting declined and finished decades later.
With the coming of the automobile in the first part of the 20th century, the railroad’s importance declined greatly, and in 1969, it closed. Today, Greene is a shadow of what it as soon as was. However, the village is mostly intact, with most of the buildings dating from the late 19th century.
