KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey records, with modern geography and the look of a vintage atlas. United States Geological Survey elevation data gives the terrain its shading. Census Bureau files supply the roads and municipal boundary, with buildings and water features brought together in the aerial view.
A town of farms and mills
Greenwood’s municipal history gives its incorporation date as February 2, 1816. The earlier township included land granted to Phillips Academy in 1800, and residents organized a plantation government in 1813. They petitioned to call the incorporated town Russia, but Greenwood was the name approved.
The town history considers Alexander Greenwood, a regional surveyor, the probable source of the name, while noting another explanation based on the forests. Farming and manufacturing were early occupations. A saw and shingle mill was built at Greenwood City in 1805, and the wood industry later concentrated at Locke Mills. The 2020 census counted 774 residents.
An inventor and a naturalist
Leon Leonwood Bean was born in Greenwood in 1872. His later business was established in Freeport, where he developed boots combining leather uppers with rubber bottoms and sold outdoor equipment by mail.
Addison Emery Verrill was born here in 1839 and collected rocks, plants, shells and insects as a boy. He later studied at Harvard and taught zoology at Yale from 1864 to 1907. His scientific work included marine invertebrates and museum collections, and Yale’s Peabody Museum established a medal in his name in 1959.
