It is believed that Greetland was the site of a Roman settlement called Cambodunum. In 1597, a Roman altar stone that traces back to 208 AD was found at Bank Top.

The Greetland railway station served the village from 1844 to 1962.

Stage 2 of the 2014 Tour de France from York to Sheffield passed through the village on 6 July. The route for the race went east to west from the neighboring Barkisland then through the borough of West Vale and into Elland.

Greetland was also the site of the fourth climb of the stage, the Category 3 Côte de Greetland, at the 119.5 kilometres point.
