  • Chapter 1: Background & Analysis
    CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS G ENERAL F EATURES Location Greenwood is the county seat of Leflore County, Mississippi and is located at the eastern edge of the Mississippi Delta, approximately 96 miles north of Jackson, Mississippi and 130 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. Natural Features The city has a total area of 9.5 square miles, of which 9.2 square miles is land and 0.3 square miles of it is water (3.15%). Greenwood is located where the Tallahatchie and Yalobusha rivers join to form the Yazoo River. In fact, Greenwood is one of the few places in the world where you can stand between two rivers, the Yazoo and the Tallahatchie Rivers, flowing in the opposite direction. The flood plain of the Mississippi River has long been an area rich in vegetation and wildlife, feeding off the Mississippi and its numerous tributaries. Long before Europeans migrated to America, the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian nations settled in the Delta's marsh and swampland. In 1830, the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was signed by Choctaw Chief Greenwood Leflore, opening the swampland to European settlers. Picture: Greenwood's Grand Boulevard once named one of America's ten most beautiful streets by the U.S. Chambers of Commerce and the Garden Clubs of America. History The first settlement on the banks of the Yazoo River was a trading post founded by John Williams in 1830 and known as Williams Landing. The settlement quickly blossomed, and in 1844 was incorporated as “Greenwood,” named after Chief Greenwood Leflore. Growing into a strong cotton market, the key to the city’s success was based on its strategic location in the heart of the Delta, on the easternmost point of the alluvial plain and astride the Tallahatchie River and the Yazoo River.
