Greenwood is a small place in Glenn County, California. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settled area that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed by the larger county government.

What is Greenwood Like?

Greenwood is located about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south of a town called Orland. It sits at an elevation of 230 feet (70 meters) above sea level. This area is part of California's Central Valley, which is known for its flat land and farming.

Its Location and History

Greenwood's location was likely important because it was on the Southern Pacific Railroad line. Railroads were super important in the past for moving goods and people across the country. Small communities often grew up around these railway stops.
