Settlers in 1802 discovered the plentiful waterpower in this small central Greene County town with its numerous creeks and rivers. The water allowed millers to use that power to operate three grist mills, including what stands today at nearby Clifton Mill, as the nation's largest water powered grist mill still in existence. These mills provided corn meal that fed troops during the Civil War. 3200 residents call this small village of not quite three miles square home.
