Green Springs, Ohio

Green Springs is a village in Sandusky and Seneca counties in the U.S. state of Ohio.

The Green Springs area was originally inhabited by the Kaskaskia and Miami Nation.

[6] But on February 28, 1831, as part of the Treaty of Little Sandusky[7][8] the Seneca agreed to relinquish their 40,000 acres in Ohio in exchange for 67,000 acres west of the Mississippi River and other provisions including a 5% annuity on the balance of the proceeds from the sale of the land in Ohio.

In 1831, Jacob Stem, the founder of Green Springs, bought the land from the government.

He purchased about 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) within Sandusky and Seneca counties, including the sulfur spring.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.21 square miles (3.13 km2), all land.

[9] State Route 19 passes through the community, the in-town portion of which is called Broadway Street.

The Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad formerly passed through Green Springs, while the Nickel Plate Railroad (Currently the Fostoria District owned by Norfolk Southern) passes on the south edge of the town.

North, just outside Green Springs, was the site of the dumping of toxic industrial waste by the Whirlpool Corporation.
