On the 4th day of March, 1822, the first division line was erased, and the township laid out into three districts. The part of the Portage road now running through the north western part of the township, was the first public road opened in Green, the survey of which was made in the spring of 1817. This survey was made by Cyrus {{Surname|Spink}}, who was assisted by Joseph {{Surname|Barkdoll}}. The chain was carried by George {{Surname|Bender}} and Adam {{Surname|Kieffer}}, and Peter {{Surname|Flickinger}} carrying the axe as marker. The next road opened in Green was run through the southern part of the township, then called the Wooster and Kindle road. Its survey was made in 1818.

==Labor & Food==

The disadvantages and inconveniences under which the settlers of Green for the first ten years were compelled to labor, on account of the few and poor roads, in addition to the hardships common to pioneer life, were many, and very great; one of which was the great distance to flouring mills. At times some were obliged to go to Cuyahoga Falls, in Summit County, for milling, or to Canton in Stark county. On account of the great distance and bad roads, men would oft times remain for their "Grist", in which case many a time weeks intervened ere their return. For instance: Robert {{Surname|Calvins}}, one morning making ready his "Ox team" for a trip to the [[Caton Mills]], loading a little wheat in view of getting it converted into flour, was interrogated by his wife as to what she and the "little ones" were to subsist on during his absence, replied, that there was a little bran in what they call "a sugar trough," covered up with some clap-boards, which she might make use of, and that he thought the potatoes which they had planted, had, by that time taken root enough so that the old ones could be extracted from the hills without destroying the younger growths, that by using them in addition to the bran, they perhaps could get along until he returned. Many instances consequent to want and privation, equally stern and severe might here be given, which, from want of time and space, must be excluded.
