Greenfield

Greenfield is a residential city in Milwaukee County that extends across a moderate area with the Root River running through its western section. The city provides a neighborhood environment with access to local services and everyday amenities.

The area was originally established in 1839 as the Town of Kinnikennick and renamed Greenfield two years later. The transition to a modern incorporated city took place in 1957.

The public library serves as a community gathering place where residents attend events and programs throughout the year.

The city connects to Milwaukee through multiple bus routes and offers direct access to major highways for easy travel. Visitors should check local transportation options before arriving to plan the best route for their needs.

The city pursued local development through infrastructure projects, including redesigning a main street as its new center. This shift shows how communities actively reshape their spatial focus.
