Green’s Plumbing and Heating offers third and fourth generation experience. From the 18th century in America, the Green family worked as blacksmiths. The name “Plumber” is derived from the Latin name for lead (Plumbum). Blacksmiths were able to make the pipes necessary for plumbing. Lehman Green homesteaded near the Becker County and Ottertail County line in the 1870s. He married Mary Buck and they had 8 children. He and his sons were hunters, trappers, and blacksmiths. They began the transition from blacksmithing to plumbing in the late 1890s. Lehman’s son, Nick, was the one son that stayed in Detroit Lakes to run the plumbing business.
