History
Greenford is the largest community in Green Township. The area was first settled by people of German ancestry in the early 1800s. In its formation, Green Township and the area surrounding Greenford had been a series of farms and coal mines. As the population grew, schools and churches were built throughout the community.[6]
Education
In 1844, there were 12 schools throughout the entire township, and multiple churches serving different denominations. Greenford High School would later form with North Lima High School in 1969 to form what is now South Range High School. The old Greenford High School had been used as the Middle School for South Range, until 2010 when the new K-12 campus in Canfield opened.
