Nearby Forestville Mystery Cave State Park features the state's longest publicly accessible cave system. Caves even closer to the town have been discovered and are opening up for exploration. HistoryGreenleafton was first settled by Dutch immigrants, including Arend Jan Nagel, who moved westward from Alto, Wisconsin, seeking inexpensive land. Like him, many of the first settlers had originally come from the Achterhoek in the eastern Netherlands and from neighboring areas in Germany. These settlers established the Greenleafton Reformed Church in 1867. Norwegians and other groups also settled the area. The name Greenleafton is in honor of Mary Greenleaf, a benefactor of the former Dutch Reformed Church, now the Reformed Church in America, established there.[2] References1. ^{{cite gnis|644449|Greenleafton, Minnesota}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|authorlink=Warren Upham|title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ShcLAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA193|year=1920|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|page=193}}
