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 second area is isolated from the first by the escarpment, a quarry and vacant lands. [6]

A revised proposal was approved on April 13, 2022. [7]
