Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Greenwich, OH

Greenwich is a village in Huron County in north-central Ohio, located along U.S. Route 224 about 15 miles south of Norwalk, the county seat.

Greenwich lies in the Firelands, also called the Sufferers' Lands — territory set aside in 1792 to compensate Connecticut residents whose homes had been burned by the British during the Revolutionary War.

The village and its township take their name from Greenwich, Connecticut, the hometown of many of the 'sufferers' who received Firelands land grants.

The first settler in Greenwich was Henry Carpenter, who arrived from Ulster County, New York, in 1817.

A post office called Greenwich was established in 1828, and the village was incorporated in 1879.

Most of Greenwich's growth came after 1874, when the settlement then known as Greenwich Station grew up along the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad.

The 2020 census counted 1,409 people in Greenwich, and the village had 570 households at the 2010 census.

Greenwich's population has been remarkably steady for decades, staying between about 1,400 and 1,525 in every census since 1960 and peaking at 1,525 in 2000.

The village serves as a business center for some 5,000 to 6,000 people in the surrounding countryside, in a county where about 80% of the land area is in farms.

Greenwich students attend South Central High School, operated by the South Central Local Schools.
