Greenfield Avenue was officially opened by a city ordinance in 1872.[1]
The neighborhood of Greenfield was named by City Council member William Barker, Jr., a local resident who lived along a tributary of Four Mile Run.[2][3][4][5] The 1872 Hopkins atlas shows the house of W. H. Barker on Greenfield Avenue (which is unlabeled), near its modern intersection with Haldane Street.[6]
