It is adjacent to Golden Grove and Salisbury Heights. Greenwith is the northernmost part of the Golden Grove urban land development.

==History== Greenwith was named by Thomas Roberts in 1846, who had been engaged by the South Australian Mining Association to open up mineral sections along the River Torrens. He named his property '''Greenwith Farm''' after the mine at which he worked near Truro, Cornwall. The property was later owned by John Garfield Tilley. Greenwith Cottage is still open today as a historical site.<ref>[http://www.ttglibrary.sa.gov.au/localhistory/townships/goldengrove.htm Local History – Greenwith, City of Tea Tree Gully Library] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050411110518/http://www.ttglibrary.sa.gov.au/localhistory/townships/goldengrove.htm |date=11 April 2005 }}</ref> It retains the pronunciation from Greenwith in Cornwall as "green-with".

In 1973 the South Australian Land Commission started to acquire land in the Golden Grove area for housing. In 1983 the South Australian Urban Land Trust contracted Delfin to develop the land. Construction started in 1985. {{citation needed|date=May 2021}}
