A Town with a Rich History

Greensboro, originally granted in 1781 as Coltkiln, has a fascinating history that includes one of its original grantees, Timothy Green. He was once charged with printing counterfeit money, but was later acquitted. To make amends, some believe the town's name was changed to Greensboro as a gesture of apology.
