For many years the hamlet of Greentown competed directly with Elfrida and Mount Albion. Situated roughly around the Green family farms at Green Mountain Road and Upper Centennial, this hamlet eventually withered away, bypassed by automobile traffic.

Apart from a couple of residential buildings, which used to belong to the Swayze family, Elfrida United Church is the last surviving structure of the hamlet of Elfrida.

The little crossroads community (once known as Swayze's Corners) vanished in the mid 20th century, only to be reborn as a vast sprawling suburban housing and big-box store development in the last decade.
