Greenfield is a city in northwestern Hennepin County, Minnesota. It has a population of 2,903 residents, according to the 2020 United States Census,[5] and is located 26.5 miles northwest of Minneapolis.[6] It is part of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Geography
[edit]According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 21.55 square miles (55.81 km2), of which 20.40 square miles (52.84 km2) is land and 1.15 square miles (2.98 km2) is water.[7]
Minnesota State Highway 55 serves as the main road in the city. Greenfield is located along the Crow River, which flows through the Downtown River District and divides Hennepin County and Wright County. Nearby towns include Loretto, Rockford, Corcoran, Hanover, Buffalo, and Maple Grove.
History
[edit]Before Greenfield was a town, the area was originally known as Greenwood Township. According to the Minnesota Historical Society, Greenfield became incorporated on March 14, 1958.[8]
Education
[edit]Greenfield's main school district is Rockford Area School District #883.[9] The school district includes an elementary school (preschool to 4th grade), a middle school (grades 5th through 8th), and a high school (grades 9th through 12th). The elementary focuses mainly on an arts program, while the middle and high schools put more of an emphasis on technology.[10] The Rockford school district was established by the Wright County commissioners on September 6, 1856, and the first school house was constructed by 1860. During the 1960s, the school underwent redistricting that gave its current designation as Independent School District #883.[11]
Although the Rockford school district serves Rockford and most of Greenfield, a small portion of Greenfield is designated to the Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose (BHM) School District #877.[12] Students in the district attend elementary school in Hanover for grades K-5; however, for grades 6–8, students are bussed to Buffalo Community Middle School in Buffalo, Minnesota. The high school for the district, Buffalo High School, is also located in Buffalo. It is known for its arts magnet program.[13] Portions of Greenfield are also located in the Delano school district.
Salem Lutheran School is a Christian Pre-K-8 school of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod in Greenfield.[14]
Places of interest
[edit]The Lake Rebecca Park Reserve sits on the southwestern edge of Greenfield. It has a gently rolling landscape and numerous wetland areas. It also has biking trails, a playground, and a boat launch. In addition to the many outdoor opportunities found there, the park is a haven for wildlife.[15]
