Early History and Founding
The first inhabitants of the area currently known as Greenwood were the Delaware Indians (Lenape). Greenwood was first known as “Smocktown” or “Smock’s Settlement”, and it became “Greenfield” in 1825. Since this clashed with another Greenfield located in Hancock County, the name of the settlement was changed to Greenwood. Some claim the town’s name was in honor of Samuel Greenwood, who platted the community in 1872. Greenwood IN Homes For Sale
