Greenleaf is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States. [2] Greenleaf lies on Oregon Route 36 east of Deadwood and west of Triangle Lake.
The name Greenleaf was first applied to the community about 1885, and when a post office was established in the area in 1892, the same name was used. [3] The name may refer to the abundance of bigleaf maple trees in the area. [3] Greenleaf is also the name of a creek that flows into Lake Creek where the post office was first located. [3] The post office was moved in 1908 about 3 miles (5 km) down Lake Creek. [3] Greenleaf post office closed in 1987; [4] Greenleaf now has a Deadwood mailing address. [5]
The 1928 Lake Creek Bridge near Greenleaf is a covered bridge listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [6]
