Greenbrier (sometimes called Green Brier) is a small, unincorporated community. It is located in Greenfield Township, within Orange County, in the state of Indiana, United States.

A Look Back: Greenbrier's History
Greenbrier once had its very own post office. This important local service was first opened in 1861. A post office helps people send and receive mail. It also often serves as a central meeting spot in smaller communities.
The Greenbrier post office served the community for many years. However, it eventually closed its doors in 1938. After this, residents likely used post offices in nearby towns.
