Greenfield Massachusetts
Greenfield was first settled by the English in 1686
as part of Deerfield, it was attacked repeatedly by
Indians, with the last skirmish in 1756. In 1753, Greenfield
was set off and incorporated as a separate town, named
for the Green River. It was the eastern terminus of
the Mohawk Trail, a principal route for settlers traveling
west into Upstate New York.
Greenfield is a residential community located at the
cross roads of Interstate 91, Route 2 and the famous
Mohawk Trail in Western Massachusetts, near where the
borders of Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire
meet. Greenfield is within a reasonable driving distance
from Northhampton, Amherst, Deerfield and the Berkshires
of Western Massachusetts.
