Greenleaf is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States[1] and has a post office with a ZIP code of 97430.[2] Greenleaf lies on Oregon Route 36 east of Deadwood and west of Triangle Lake.
The name Greenleaf was first applied to the community about 1885, and when a post office was established in the area in 1892, the same name was used.[3] The name may refer to the abundance of bigleaf maple trees in the area.[3] Greenleaf is also the name of a creek that flows into Lake Creek where the post office was first located.[3] The post office was moved in 1908 about three miles down Lake Creek.[3]
The 1928 Lake Creek Bridge near Greenleaf is a covered bridge listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
