24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Greenland, AR

Greenland is a second-class city in Washington County, located immediately south of Fayetteville within the Northwest Arkansas metropolitan area.

The city sits in the Boston Mountains, part of the Ozark Mountains of northwestern Arkansas.

The land Greenland occupies was once hunting ground for the Osage, and its first recognized white landowners — Sutherland Mayfield, Alexander Scott, and Jacob Yoes — claimed land there in 1839.

Early settlers made their living growing fruit, including apples and a variety of berries, and raising chickens.

Completion of the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway through the mountains in 1882 further grew the local economy.

Greenland incorporated on March 14, 1910.

The city lies adjacent to Drake Field, the small airport serving Fayetteville, sits on U.S. Highway 71, is crossed by Interstate 49, and is largely a residential community tied closely to the Fayetteville economy.

The 2020 census counted 1,213 residents in Greenland, just below the 1,259 recorded in 2010, which capped a decade of nearly 39 percent growth from the 907 residents counted in 2000.

The 2010 census recorded Greenland's 1,259 residents living in 452 households, with 496 housing units in the city.

The Greenland School District operates an elementary school, a middle school, and Greenland High School, whose teams are the Pirates; a new stone school building opened in 1922, and smaller area schools were consolidated into the district during the Great Depression.
