The population was 1,409 at the 2010 census.[3] CommunitiesGreenbush is an unincorporated community on US 23 a few miles south of Harrisville on the shores of Lake Huron at {{Coord|44|35|16|N|83|18|59|W|region:US-MI_type:city_scale:30000_source:GNIS|name=Greenbush, Michigan}}.[4] In 1847-48, Crosier Davison of Detroit built a fishery and cooperage at what was then known as the Sliding Banks of the Au Sable.[5] In 1862, Morris & McDougal, of New York state, bought government pine timber land and set up lumber operations. The area became known as "McDougal's Landing". Later, William Conklin built a sawmill here, and in about 1867, at the suggestion of an employee from Greenbush, New York, the name was changed. A post office named "Greenbush" opened on May 16, 1870, with James Burton as postmaster. The name of the office was changed to "Perfection" on June 6, 1917, and changed back to Greenbush on January 8, 1921.[6][7] The Greenbush ZIP code 48738 serves the eastern portion of Greenbush Township, as well as a narrow band between US 23 and Lake Huron in southern Harrisville Township and northern Oscoda Township down to Lake to Lake Road.[8]Mikado is to the west, and the Mikado ZIP code 48745 serves the western portion of Greenbush Township.[9]Oscoda is to the south, and the Oscoda ZIP code 48750 also serves areas in southern Greenbush Township.[10]GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of {{convert|67.8|km2|disp=flip}}, of which {{convert|64.5|km2|disp=flip}} is land and {{convert|3.2|km2|disp=flip}}, or 4.68%, is water.[3] Greenbush Township is part of the eastern edge of Huron National Forest, which offers outdoor recreational opportunities such as hunting, swimming, cross-country skiing and trout fishing. The forest contains {{convert|330|mi|km}} of hiking trails. The Huron and Manistee National Forests were separately designated, but were combined in 1945 for administrative purposes. The Lake Huron beaches in and around Greenbush Township (north from Oscoda, including state parks) have been recognized as being among the top ten in Michigan. "Old-fashioned lake vacations abound on this pretty stretch of Lake Huron."[11] Demographics{{USCensusPop| 1960 = 536 | 1970 = 760 | 1980 = 1292 | 1990 = 1371 | 2000 = 1499 | 2010 = 1409 | footnote = Source: Census Bureau.
