In the 19th century, Green Bank was important to the economy of Washington Township: it held one of the township's main sawmills, it functioned as a port from which the township's lumber was shipped down the Mullica River to the Atlantic Ocean, and when shipbuilding became an important industry in the township in the late 19th century, many ships were built at Green Bank.
