[2] The name may refer to the abundance of bigleaf maple trees in the area. [2] Greenleaf is also the name of a creek that flows into Lake Creek where the post office was first located. [2] The post office was moved in 1908 about 3 miles (5 km) down Lake Creek. [2] Greenleaf post office closed in 1987; [3] Greenleaf now has a Deadwood mailing address. [4]

The 1928 Lake Creek Bridge near Greenleaf is a covered bridge listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [5]
