In April of 2001, there was an article in the Manchester Union Leader discussing the effort by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust to raise money to purchase the island at the inner-most end of Greens Basin, then called Blanchard Island. In the article, the reporter, Carol Carter, mentions a Rev. Frank E. Greene, a resident of Moultonborough Neck, still living in a cottage built by his uncle in 1908. From this cottage Greene remembers seeing boys from Camp Wyanoke in Wolfeboro using the island for overnight camping. My family owned and operated Camp Wyanoke and we owned the island, too, then named by us as "Wyanisle" (a conjunction of Wyanoke & island).

My purpose for writing this is to show that the name "Greene" has been associated with that part of the Lake for a long, long time. Although this may not definitively name the basin as Greene's Basin, it does add light to the subject.
