Greentown is a town in Liberty Township, Howard County, Indiana, United States.

Located approximately 9 miles east of Kokomo on State Road 22 / US 35; it is home to the Howard County Fair Grounds.

[5] Known for its collectible glassware made for only a few years by a local factory destroyed in 1903,[6] it is home to the Greentown Glass Museum.

First was a merchant, L. W. Bacon who built a log house on the northeast corner of Main and Merdian.

Just prior to the establishment of these local stores, around 1840 the Miami tribe of the Algonquin native peoples had a population in Howard county of about two hundred.

One other version is based on the idea of Greentown being an Indian settlement named after a Native American chief called Green.

Over the years since, Greentown's population numbers have seen notable gains every couple censuses followed by smaller drops between, which has enabled the town to slowly grow over time.

Some locals have contested this development, voicing concerns about noise and about the loss of farmland around a longtime farming community.

Protesters have alleged that the County Administrators and company representatives violated the law by holding illegal closed-door meetings, locking the public out of deliberations.

In years to come, D.C. Jenkins founded a glass manufacturing plant, Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Factory.

The glass factory brought many jobs to the area and marked the town's main period of industrial activity.

After the factory burned down and the natural gas supply drastically declined, Greentown's population dropped by about ten percent, and the town as a whole suffered severe loss of revenue.

The libraries host many events in the community to get Greentown residents involved and interested in reading.
