Greenfield History
Greenfield celebrates its 50th Anniversary in the year 2007. Greenfield’s first settlers came into the community of Kinnickinnic in 1836. By the year 1841, Greenfield covered 36 square miles and had a population of 404. In 1952, Greendale and Hales Corners were incorporated. When Milwaukee began annexing portions of our town in 1957, Greenfield incorporated in the county at that time.
Greenfield’s fire department was created in 1960 with seven full-time employees. The police department was established in 1962 with one police chief and six officers. The original city hall was built in 1935 and replaced with our present city hall in 1990.
