The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
Mack's Corner was named in the 1920s for B M McCollum who owned the land on which the community existed. He operated a grocery store, restaurant and an automotive repair shop, all contained in the same building. A local farmer came into the building for lunch one day. When he was handed a plate of food with a greasy thumbprint on it by a mechanic who had just repaired a car, the diner remarked that the community should be called "Greasy Corner", not Mack's Corner. The community has been called Greasy Corner ever since.
