The local economy transitioned from farming to business and manufacturing. By 1950, farmers began to sell their lands to developers for residential housing. The increased development in the community led to discussions about becoming a city. Voters approved the merger of the village with the rest of the township in 1991. In the beginning of 1991, Green Township was incorporated as the Village of Green. The village was declared a city in 1992, with the first city mayor being John Torok.Post officeThe city has no unique postal ZIP code; it is served by the Green post office, but only post office boxes are served by this ZIP code (44232); no street addresses in Green have this ZIP code.
