Greens Cut is an unincorporated community in Burke County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

A post office called Greens Cut was established in 1854, and remained in operation until 1926.[2] The community took its name from a nearby railway cut, which in turn bears the name of Moses P. Green, original owner of the site.[3]
