 Wikipedia: Dunland
When Gondor decided to give the unpopulated province of Calenardhon to the numerous people of Éothéod in 2510 T.A., the Dunlendings felt threathened by these Strawheads (referring to the blonde hair).
This because they had slowly reclaimed their land during the dwindling of the Dúnedain, having reclaimed all the land between the rivers Greyflood and Isen, and beginning to creep back in Calenardhon itself.
Still, open war was not waged until the reign of Helm Hammerhand (2741 T.A. The Dunlending Freca tried to get the throne of Rohan for himself by letting his son Wulf marry the daughter of Helm.

In the Third Age, the Greyflood formed part of the southern border of the North-kingdom of Arnor.

 Fell Winter - Tolkien Gateway
This time Sauron was not able to launch a full attack, as the War of the Dwarves and Orcs of a full century earlier had eliminated most of his Orcs in the north, and the Haradrim had been badly defeated in 2885.
The winter was also less harsh than the Long Winter, and snow and ice stopped in Eriador at the Greyflood river, and in Wilderland in the middle of Mirkwood.
In March when the winter ended great floods of meltwater rushed down Greyflood, and the city of Tharbad was ruined and its bridge broken.

The name given to the lower reaches of the River Hoarwell, known to the Elves as the Gwathló.
The Greyflood flowed southwest from the confluence of the Hoarwell (Mitheithel) with the Glanduin, until it reached the Great Sea at Lond Daer.
It formed the border between the regions of Enedwaith in the south and Minhiriath in the north, and took its name from the tree-shadows of the great forest that filled those regions during the Second Age.

 Canonfire! - The Sud Graufult: Overview
Taras writes "Stretching along the southern banks of the Greyflood river is the Sud Graufult, a land in dispute between the Iron League and Aerdy.
The Sud Graufult is comprised of the lands between the Greyflood River (known locally as the Graufult) and the Rieuwood, between the Hollow Highlands and the Glorioles.
Numerous streams run to the north, emptying their waters into the Greyflood, making the land relatively well-watered, easily allowing for the vineyards and orchards which make up the bulk of the agriculture in the territory.

 The North-kingdom of Arnor
Eriador included all the lands between the Misty Mountains and the Blue Mountains as far south as the Glanduin and Greyflood rivers.
Arnor included most of this area except the Elvish lands west of the River Lune - beyond which Lindon was located - and east of the Bruinen and lower Hoarwell - where Rivendell and Eregion were located.
It lay mainly north of the Great East Road, though it did extend south of the road to include the Angle between the Hoarwell and Greyflood.

But he set aside his four smallest ships, the which were yet rather over-sized for travel on the Greyflood, and told his captains to take them up the river if they could, with a complement of archers ready to take to the masts and yards.
But travel by that way was so difficult, that they made little advance, before they saw that the army of the west was coming up across the river to rout them utterly.
So returned the people of Numenor to Tharbad, merchants and workmen, and their families, to rebuild the city devastated by battle, in the hope that the prosperity of trade could be resumed.

 Elendor - Friday, January 11, 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
As the road descends into the lowlands of the Greyflood, it is surrounded by swamps, until it has become a mere causeway, and even that threatens to disappear into the surrounding fens: now and then one is forced to wade across places the road itself has washed out and disappeared.
Not far across the Greyflood as the crow flies you can see the ruins of Tharbad, but it will take a major effort to get there, for there is no bridge any more, only a deep ford crossed by a strong current.
Studying the surrounding swamps she walks closer to the edge of one and picks up a rock and skips it across the murky surface.

 The Tip of the Iceberg: New Information About Middle-Earth — Merp.com Website
People of Numenorean origin did not live there, except at Tharbad, where a large garrison of soldiers and river-wardens was once maintained.
In those days there were drainage works, and the banks of the Hoarwell and Greyflood were strengthened.
But in the days of The Lord of the Rings the region had long become ruinous and lapsed into a primitive state: a slow wide river running through a network of swamps, pools and eyots: the haunts of hosts of swans and other water-birds.

 Good Night, Good Rhudaur - Michael Martinez' J.R.R. Tolkien and Middle-earth - The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, ...
The region claimed by the Kings of Rhudaur in the middle Third Age extended eastward from the Weather Hills to the Misty Mountains, and south from the Mitheithel (Hoarwell) where it flowed past the Ettenmoors to the tip of the Angle, the land between the Mitheithel and Bruinen (Loudwater) rivers.
The rivers joined together above Eregion and became the Gwathlo (Greyflood), the chief cities of which were Tharbad and Lond Daer Ened (formerly Vinyalonde).
When Elendil arrived at Lindon with four ships of Faithful Numenoreans, Eriador was already well-populated by Elves, men of Edainic descent, Numenoreans, men of mixed heritage, and men who are probably best described as "Easterlings".

It was decided that a small group would ride to the Shire to warn of the huorns the Greyflood scouting party had encountered, while the others would head to the north, following the orc tracks.

 Preservers of Tharbad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Since the Fell Winter of 2911, however, Tharbad has fallen into ruin -- abandoned, largely destroyed, and overrun by thieves and brigands.
The broken bridge over the River Greyflood stands as a haunting symbol of the state into which Tharbad has fallen since passing from its Elvish custodians.
The Preservers of Tharbad strive to return Tharbad to its former standing and fulfill the hope of prominence with which it was founded.

PRECAMBRIAN OROGENY Evidence of a Precambrian orogenic event is seen in metamorphosed Precambrian bedrock exposed between the Greyflood and Brandywine rivers.
The rocks display classic Barrovian metamorphism with increasing metamorphic grade near the Greyflood River.
Probable protoliths are pelitic and quartzofeldspathic rocks due to the high amounts of aluminum needed to form the observed minerals of biotite, garnet, staurolite, kyanite, and sillimanite.

Elrond, on the other hand, predicts some things concerning Frodo's journey: "I can foresee very little of your road; and how your task is to be achieved I do not know.
The Shadow has crept now to the foot of the Mountains, and draws nigh even to the borders of the Greyflood; and under the Shadow all is dark to me. You will meet many foes, and some disguised; and you may find friends upon your way when you least look for it."
Who can doubt that Boromir must be a disguised foe, or that Faramir is a friend unlooked-for?
