Living in Greenwood
Named for its elm trees, built by two railroads
Named in 1867
R.W. Price, Frank Brooks, Alfred Hanscomb and Rev. S.B. Clark filed the name “Greenwood” with the court on June 25, 1867. Clark reportedly chose it for the area’s elm trees, and the business district moved to its current spot when the railroad arrived after the Civil War.
100 trains a day
By 1900 Greenwood had two depots averaging 100 trains every 24 hours, shipping sheep, cattle and hogs on the Missouri Pacific and the Rock Island. In 1947 cars from the two lines collided in town and spilled “many gallons of wine,” which is one way to make the local news.
Paved by Truman
The city credits Harry Truman with authorizing the paving of M-150 Highway in 1927, back when he was a Jackson County judge. The town re-incorporated as a village in 1957 and became a fourth-class city in 1963.
