A Look Back: The History of Greenway

Greenway began its story in 1902. This was an exciting time because the Milwaukee Railroad, a very important train line, was built and reached this area. When the railroad arrived, it often meant new communities would grow around it, making it easier for people and goods to travel.

In the same year, 1902, a post office was opened in Greenway. A post office is where people send and receive mail, and it was a vital part of any community back then, connecting people to the outside world. The Greenway post office served the community for many years, finally closing its doors in 1976.
