Historical
Marker (1504 Greenwood Rd):
Greenwood Community
Greenwood formed
by the 1880s on land sold to T.D. Wythe and W.J. Fain, developing
as a farming community. There were a number of vital institutions
here, including the general store owned by Millard Cleveland, a sheriff
from Missouri; the Greenwood Cemetery; Greenwood School, built in
1883 and home to area social activities and early worship services;
and several church buildings, two of which were constructed by 1906.
In 1928, local women organized the Greenwood Home Demonstration Club.
By the 1960s, Greenwood also boasted a community center and volunteer
fire department. The early settlement never developed as a town, but
its story remains a vital part of Parker
County history.
