History
The town was probably named after Bowling Green, Virginia. The first post office was established at Bowling Green in 1825. With the establishment of Clay County in the same year, Bowling Green became the site of the county's first courthouse, which was completed in 1828. Bowling Green was incorporated as a town in 1869, but subsequently lost its status as county seat to the town of Brazil in 1876.
