Greenwood once called itself the "Cotton Capital of the World", but as times have changed, this small southern town has kept pace. Part of one of the most fertile agricultural areas in the country, Greenwood and its surrounding land have long supported agricultural societies. After the decline of US cotton production, the town could have foundered. But committed residents have turned this part of the Delta, once emblematic of the antebellum South, into a modern destination in its own right.

As you stroll around Greenwood, you may recognize a few buildings and scenes from the 2011 movie "The Help", which was filmed here, and a walk or drive down Grand Boulevard is a must for any visitor or resident alike. Though it might look a bit different now than when Sally Gwin had one thousand oaks transplanted along it in the early 1900s, this elegant street is a lovely reminder of bygone days in Greenwood, and it was once named one of the 10 most beautiful streets in the country.

Now, Howard Street is home to many of Greenwood's most vibrant small businesses, and culinary aficionados know that it's also where the famed Viking Range Company's cooking school is headquartered. While you're busy getting to know the new Greenwood, don't get distracted thinking about how secure your home is. Whether you live downtown or further afield, an ADT monitored security system will give you the reassurance you need to get out and enjoy life in Greenwood.
