Greenleaf is an unincorporated census-designated place in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States, in the town of Wrightstown.[3]
History[]
As of the 2010 census it had a population of 607.[4] Greenleaf was named for Emery B. Greenleaf, the general manager of the Milwaukee & Northern railroad at the time the Greenleaf post office was established in 1873.[5]
Incorporation as a Village[]
In 2020, 800 residents of the community petitioned the state of Wisconsin to become a village.[6] The Wisconsin Incorporation Review Board denied the petition's "characteristics of the territory" requirement as the petition included 2 separate areas: one in the vicinity of a roundabout of state highways WIS 57 and Wisconsin Highway 96 and another isolated area to the east of the Niagara Escarpment.[6] The second area is isolated from the first by the escarpment, a quarry and vacant lands.[6]
