Proud of its Past While Looking Toward the Future
Greenfield, located in Monterey County, is in the heart of California’s Salinas Valley, approximately 135 miles south of San Francisco, 95 miles south of San Jose and 60 miles north of Paso Robles.
Greenfield traces its roots to 1905 and the creation of Clark Colony Water Company, which built a network of irrigation canals and filled them with water from the nearby Arroyo Seco River. A small town was included in the organizers’ plans, and thus was born Greenfield, aptly named in light of the fertile farmland which surrounds it. The city was incorporated in 1947.
At 289 feet above sea level, Greenfield and its residents enjoy moderate temperatures throughout the year, including mild winters and summers that are warm and dry.
Greenfield prides itself on its forward-thinking approach to community life. Our municipal government, churches, schools and services organizations create close-knit relationships you’ll find only in a small town. We’re proud of our accomplishments, and look forward to an even better future. We remain dedicated to our agricultural roots, but have committed ourselves to diversification and opportunities for our residents. See for yourself why visitors comment on our well-maintained business districts, our numerous parks and playgrounds, and our friendly neighborhoods. Greenfield’s great place to visit, and an even better place to live. Next time you’re in the area, stop by!
