The canton Greene existed from 1807 to 1813 in the Einbeck district ( Department of the Leine , Kingdom of Westphalia ) and was formed by the Royal Decree of December 24, 1807. It emerged from a division of the old Greene office into the canton Greene and the canton Delligsen , which was expanded to include a few adjacent places. Greene was not affected by the restructuring to finally determine the state of the communities in the department of the Leine on June 16, 1809. After 1813 the old Greene office was restituted.
