GREENWOOD
"Greenwood was formed from Troupsburg and Canisteo, January 24, 1827.
The town of West Union was taken off in 1845, and a part of Jasper was annexed
in 1848. It is one of the western tier of towns, and is situated south of
the centre. It is bounded north by Hartsville, east by Jasper, south by West
Union and west by Allegany county. The surface is chiefly a rolling upland.
The principal stream is Bennett's creek, which flows northerly through the
east part of the town, in a valley surrounded by hills from four to six hundred
feet in height. The soil is gravelly and clayey loam. The population in 1890
was 1,306.
