Return to Index History & History Related Items Greensburg history: A history page and more about Greenburg, PA "Greensburg, southeast of Pittsburgh, was originally known as Newtown, that is until the postal service requested a name change because a couple Newtown's already existed in the state. (For instance, the "Newton" part of the Newton-Ransom area, just west of Scranton, is most likely a shortened form of "New Town".) So in 1786, community leaders renamed Newtown as Greensburg in honor of Gen. Nathanael Greene, a Revolutionary War hero. Among those community leaders was Maj. Gen. Arthur St. Clair, a friend of Green as well as the first president of the U.S. Continental Congress. And it's a fair guess the town of St. Clair, near Interstate 81 in N.E. PA, was named for the major general. General Greene never set foot in Newtown, but he was remembered by local soldiers who fought under his command at the Battle of Trenton. And it was Greene's leadership in the Southern campaign against the British that helped set the stage for the surrender of British Gen. Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781, leading directly to the end of the Revolutionary War.
