Abstract:

Snow Hill, once a major stop on Contentnea Creek for water travel in the 19th-century, is the county seat of Greene County. It is a town of historic architecture, a place where the Snow Hill Billies baseball team attracted more spectators than the town's population, and where in 1946, Happy Jack Mange Medicine was created. Since the town and county are heavily dependent on tobacco, efforts are being made to find alternate crops like kenaf and to expand the industrial community.
