Not much is currently known, although I am looking into it. It is known that before the existance of Airway Heights and Fairchild A.F.B. there were ranchers and wheat farmers settled into this area. Perhaps this is a small community of theirs? Submitted by: Nick McArthur UPDATE: I was recently doing some research into Greenwood. I found that there was a Post Office in Greenwood from 1890-1891. This information I found in a book of old postal codes for Washington State at the Spokane Library. I have also come across a couple of what my supervisor calls "can dumps". These are ares where old milk cans were dumped. Spokane International Airport currently owns the land where Greenwood sits. Robert Brown |
