History
In 1839, the town where Greenfield is based was developed through land sales by the United States government. With more than the 300 resident limit in town the area became the Town of Kinnickinnic on March 8, 1839. The land area met the required population, so the southern half of town was separated and named Franklin on December 20, 1839. A lawyer from New York, Olney Harrington and his family, moved to Kinnickinnic in 1837. Harrington became the town’s postmaster and named the post office Greenfield, which was a very popular name at the time.

After the city of Milwaukee experimented with new communities and annexing land from Greenfield, the town lost half of its remaining land. Incorporated in 1957, Greenfield was left with odd boundaries lined around the city.
