Greenwood History

Greenwood's first settlers arrived in the early 1820s. Initially known as Smocktown or Smock's Settlement, the community changed its name to Greenfield in 1825.  In that same year, residents organized what is now Greenwood Presbyterian Church, and Johnson County was also formed and named in honor of Judge John Johnson of the Indiana State Supreme Court.  In 1833, the town changed its name again - to Greenwood - to avoid confusion with Greenfield of Hancock County.
