Greenleaf is an unincorporated census-designated place in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States, in the town of Wrightstown. [3]
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]
In 2020, 800 residents of the community petitioned the state of Wisconsin to become a village. [6] The Wisconsin Incorporation Review Board denied the petition's "characteristics of the territory" requirement as the petition included 2 separate areas: one in the vicinity of a roundabout of state highways WIS 57 and Wisconsin Highway 96 and another isolated area to the east of the Niagara Escarpment. [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]
It is located at the intersection of Wisconsin Highways 57/ 32 and 96. [8] It uses ZIP code 54126. [9] Greenleaf has an area of 1.042 square miles (2.70 km2), all of it land. The community is part of the Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area.
