Facts for Renters

• Greenfield was initially known as Clark Colony, beginning in 1905. The Clark Colony Water company was formed in April, 1905. Once the town established a sufficient water canal system and proper growing conditions, many settlers came to the land to produce crops. The settlers created the largest irrigation and water supply company in Salinas Valley.
• Today, the Clark Colony Water Company still holds rights that guarantee its members a certain amount of water from the Arroyo Seco River before other agencies can access the river.
• In 1906, the first schoolhouse was built, consisting of two buildings with a library between them.
• The colony changed its name to Greenfield after the Postal Service told them their were too many "Clark Cities" in California. The town was named after long time settler Edward Greenfield, who was publicly active in the area and helped build the canal system.
