Greenwood is a city in Johnson County, Indiana, United States. The populace was 49,791 at the 2010 Census, and expanded to 56,545 in the Census 2016 assessments. Greenwood is situated between Indiana State Road 37 and Interstate 65. The city imparts an outskirt to Indianapolis and is the most crowded suburb in the southern part of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Area.

The principal occupants of the zone at present known as Greenwood were the Delaware Indians Lenape. In 1818, the Treaty of St. Mary's opened focal Indiana to European American settlement, and by 1823 the main lodge in northern Johnson County was raised by pilgrims John B. what's more, Isaac Smock ashore at present possessed by Greenwood Park Mall.

Greenwood was first known as "Smocktown" or "Frock's Settlement" out of appreciation for the Smock siblings, and moved toward becoming "Greenfield" in 1825. Since this conflicted with another Greenfield situated in Hancock County, the name of the settlement was changed to Greenwood. Some claim the town's name was to pay tribute to Samuel Greenwood, who platted the group in 1872.
