In The Beginning
In October of 1883 the Greenwood Hotel was completed with 43 boarding rooms and 50 beds. Over the years she earned the name "The Grand Princess of the Prairie, Center of Everything". Built by The Eureka Hotel Company, a stock company consisting of prominent early settlers of the Eureka community the total cost of construction was $23,000. The hotel was originally called "Hotel Greenwood" in honor of the county in which the hotel resided as well as the namesake of the county, Alfred B. Greenwood, who was noted for his work in Indian Affairs on reservations in Nebraska, Kansas and ‘the Indian Territories’ of Oklahoma. Commerce, horse drawn transportation and railroads were the main reasons the Eureka Hotel Company was founded. Eureka was a thriving metropolis. The Greenwood Hotel is one of the oldest landmarks in Greenwood County. In the Greenwood’s prominent years it is estimated that over $1,000,000,000 worth of cattle were traded in its lobby. Million dollar oil deals were completed behind its walls. It served Eureka, Greenwood County and the Flint Hills as the place to stay for over three-quarters of a century.
