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. | After World War II ended, Greenfield would see a boom in population and the annexation of Rockwell.
