Greenwood, Wise County, Texas

Greenwood is an unincorporated community in Wise County, Texas, United States.

As the town of Greenwood began to grow, businesses, churches, a cemetery, school, and masonic lodge were established.

A Post Office was opened in 1877, and a town well was dug by John Karr Berry in the early 1890s.

At its peak, the town boasted two saloons, four grocery stores, two drug stores, a hotel, bank, hardware store, barber shop, blacksmith shop, cotton gin, and the Greenwood Gazette Newspaper, the Greenwood Male and Female College, although in operation for less than twenty years, provided quality education for the young people of the community.

This small settlement has served as a supply center for surrounding farming communities for over one hundred years.
