Greens Farms, Connecticut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greens Farms (also spelled in its original form, Green's Farms) is a neighborhood or section in the town of Westport in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. The town of Westport has one political body, but consists of two geographical subdivisions; these being Saugatuck and Greens Farms.

The area was originally called Machamux ("beautiful land") by the Pequot people. It was renamed Green's Farms in 1732 after one of the original five settlers (the "Bankside Farmers") in the area, John Green.

Greens Farms is the home to a private coeducational K-12 institution that bears its namesake: Greens Farms Academy.
