Greenwood – The Valley's Hidden Jewel
Nestled between the North and South Mountain is the Village of Greenwood, an urban community in a rural environment. Located on Route 201, just 4 kilometers off Highway 101 at exit 17 this community was first established as a commercial destination in the early 1800s. United Empire Loyalists and New England Planters first arrived in the 1770s and settled along the banks of the Fales and Annapolis Rivers. With the building of the air force base in the 1940s, the community was rejuvenated and Greenwood was incorporated as a village in 1961.
