Answer:
The towns like Chambersburg, Green Village, and Shippensburg are approximately 10 miles apart from each other because the settlers of the Green Village chose to settle at a location central to both the larger towns of Chambersburg and Shippensburg.
Explanation:
- The town of Shippensburg which settled in 1730 was one of the first town settlements in the valley of Cumberland.
- The town of Chambersburg shortly settled at a distance of only a few miles from the town of Shippensburg.
- After a few years, the settlers of the present-day Green Village chose to settle at a location that was central to both these larger towns.
- Thus, the towns of Chambersburg, Green Village, and Shippensburg fall approximately 10 miles apart from each other.
