Do you know of Greenwich Village ???This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Greenwich Village. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Greenwich Village. Our sources for Greenwich Village (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Greenwich Village other than they indicate that Greenwich Village would be found somewhere in Hampshire County, Massachusetts.

It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it.
