footnotes = Greenwood is a small city in south central British Columbia.It was incorporated in 1897 and was formerly one of the principal cities of the Boundary Country smelting and mining district. It earned "city" status and has retained that stature despite the population implosion following the closure of the area's industries. It is therefore "Canada's Smallest City", as it styles itself. It is located along Highway 3 near Rock Creek, British Columbia and Grand Forks.

The town is served by Greenwood Elementary School which covers grades K-7. Following grade 7 local students attend Boundary Central Secondary School in nearby Midway.

Greenwood was one of the filming locations for the film "Snow Falling on Cedars".
