Greenwood is a place where the land itself seems to breathe, a quiet expanse of rolling hills and dense woodlands in the northeastern reaches of the county. It lies 3.2 miles south-west of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 219°T), and is situated 4.9 miles south-west of Dunmore. The terrain here is a study in subtle shifts, with valleys cradling small farms and streams that thread through the landscape, their waters catching the pale sunlight that filters through the leaves. The air, especially in the early morning, carries the damp, earthy scent of decaying leaves and fertile soil, a constant reminder of the natural forces at play. Even in the settled parts of Greenwood, the wildness of the surrounding hills is never far off, a green presence that defines the character of the place. The history of Greenwood is tied to the very earth it occupies, a story of resourcefulness and resilience. Once, the economy here hummed with the extraction of coal, a difficult and often dangerous endeavor that left its mark on the land and its people. Though that era has largely passed, the echoes of its industry remain, a somber layer beneath the surface. Today, Greenwood finds its footing in a more varied economic landscape, with small businesses and agricultural pursuits forming the backbone of daily life. The rhythm of Greenwood is one of quiet perseverance, a steady beat that keeps time with the changing seasons and the enduring spirit of its residents.
