By 1813, in an area originally inhabited by Native Americans, including a significant Delaware Indian village located on White River, s western banks, the future Greenwood was made safe for settlement by the Kentucky and Indiana militias. In 1818, with the New Purchase treaties and establishment of Whetzel Trace, the earliest east-west transportation route through central Indiana, the dense, overgrown forest became readied for settlement. Arising from humble beginnings as Smocktown, the community was officially named Greenfield in 1825, followed by renaming to Greenwood in 1833.

Accused of being a , bedroom community, of Indianapolis, Greenwood strives to maintain its relevance as a unique and historically proud community.
