Speaking of history, Bowling Green's own story dates back to the early 19th century. It all began with the determination of Elisha Martindale, our first settler in 1832. By 1835, the town was officially laid out and proudly took on the name of Bowling Green, inspired by the city in Kentucky. What was once a challenging swamp wilderness transformed into fertile farmland, thanks to the hard work of German immigrants who drained the swamp and made it flourish.
Today, Bowling Green stands as a testament to the resilience and vision of its early pioneers. From waterlogged swampland to thriving agricultural hub, our town's journey is a testament to human spirit and determination.
