Lake Greeno proper was a short-lived reservoir constructed to supply water to the area around Susanville; its dam was washed out at least once, and GNIS hasn't heard of it. I found a book on a Margaret Greeno which I can only read some short excepts of, but I can see that it mentions the 4th class post office as a place where people got mail, and it talks a bit about the reservoir. What I cannot find is anything much beyond that. Fairfield's history of the county mentions George Greeno very briefly, and says nothing about the reservoir; I get lots of hits about banking (which seem connected to Reno, not California) and a passing mention of a Lake Greeno Precinct. But nothing I get says it was a town. Mangoe (talk) 16:37, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only thing I can confirm is that there was a reservoir by that name. No evidence of notability. Glendoremus (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
