History
The word Greenbush comes from "Sha Ach Wah," which means spruce tree or green bush in Ojibwe. Scandinavian, Polish and Bohemian settlers arrived in the area in 1880s, with the largest influx immigrating in the early 1890s. The Homestead Act gave free to settlers if they set up living quarters and developed a few acres into the fields. The original setting of the city was on a ridge of what was formerly known to be the shores of ancient Lake Agassiz. This village is now referred to as "Old Greenbush," and is marked by Hvidso cemetery (also known as Pioneer Haven) along Highway 11. In 1904, the Great Northern railroad came to the area. It expanded north from Thief River Falls to the location of present day Greenbush, where it stopped construction. Greenbush merchants moved their businesses, buildings and all, to the new town known as "West Greenbush", a feat which they accomplished by rolling the buildings along logs, with horses tied up to posts and walking beside them. Businesses remained open during the moving days. A few years later, the rail line to Warroad was completed and ran directly through the old town site. Greenbush officially became a registered city in 1905, with a population of approximately 450 people. Volunteers travelled to Crookston on foot to deliver the official documents, a journey of about one way.
