Greenwood
Greenwood is a farming community just south of Wills Point and twelve miles northwest of Canton in northwestern Van Zandt County. In 1936 it had scattered dwellings and a business, church, and cemetery. By 1987 only the church, cemetery, and a nearby sewage disposal plant remained in the area.
