	After World War II ended, Greenfield would see a boom in population and the annexation of Rockwell. With work starting on the Interstate system Greenfield would end up having 472,932 in 1950, around two and a half times as much compared to its population of only 183,293 in 1930. This rapid population growth sprawled the city into nearby communities such as [[Los Llanos]]. Meanwhile factories in [[Baron's Bar]] shifted more towards construction to complement this expansion.

			Starting in 1846, Mexico and the United States waged a war. American conquest of Greenfield happened quickly with no revolt from the Californios breaking out in Greenfield contrary to Los Angeles and San Diego. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo would solidify the American Conquest in 1848 of Greenfield and what would eventually become the Southwestern United States

			After the earthquake, the decline and disinvestment into the city continued untill 2002 when a new mayor, Bruce Holloway was elected. He promised for growth and the revitalization of districts near downtown Greenfield.

			Both the green and blue LRT lines finished construction and opened in 2003. With this came the first talks about a new high end waterfront neighbourhood in baronsbar, and new housing on the former parking lots of the Nazoma Monolith. With this, multiple districts around the city, like Del Rey, Peralta Beach, South Hill and North of Market were rezoned to incentivise new housing construction

			Bruce Holloway kept his promise of new growth and the city saw numerous new highrises built around the financial district. The Downtown waterfront plan was also made. In this plan many of the piers would be converted into other uses, such as the Greenfield Aquarium, which would open in 2006

			Unfortunately the Great Recession would halt this growth. It would indefinitely halt many construction projects around the city, such as the redevelopment of Baron's Bar, Peralta Beach and the waterfront redevelopment plan.

Another plan was made to redevelop the Ashfield waterfront to connect the Delrey neighbourhood with the rest of Ashfield.
