History in
a Pecan Shell
Named for two Baptist
missionaries (The Reverends Green and Wood), the community dates from
the 1890s when large tracts of grazing land were subdivided for sale
as farms.
The aforementioned pastors organized the Greenwood Baptist Church
in 1907. A more permanent structure was built in the mid 1920s. It
was then the community took the name of the church.
About the same time the local schools (Stokes, Mc Clintic, and Prairie
Lee) consolidated into the Greenwood ISD. The population estimate
was given as 32 in the 2010 Texas official map. |
