The City of Glendale has a rich history that goes back to the late 19th century. The name Glendale was first introduced as the Glendale Grange was introduced, an individual farmers’ association that was established in 1896. The Glendale Grange was donated land by two individuals, J.M. and Agnes Riddle right on Leetsdale Drive in hopes that a Grange Hall would be built. Glendale back in the early 1900s was dominated in the farming industry, from dairy farms to stock ranches. The Grange helped introduce water rights to the area so it could be further developed. In 1974, the Grange building was sold and plans for a new facility began. The Glendale Grange is no longer active but provided a great deal of success and credibility to the City of Glendale.

 

Another unique aspect of Glendale is Four Mile Park. Four Mile Park acted as a pitstop home along the Cherokee Trail- a trail to the California gold fields. The site of where this home was first constructed was originally a campground for Native people. It then further developed into a site for a home that was intended to be today what we would call an Air BnB. The constructed home provided services for those traveling through such as a warm place to stay and well cooked food to those traveling along the Cherokee Trail. This home is the oldest standing structure in Denver, it turned 160 years old in 2019!

The town was first incorporated and declared a town in the greater Denver area in 1952. Since the early 50’s the population of Glendale has nearly quadrupled from 468 people to 5,170 in 2018. It has since become a residential area for many individuals who work in the city or in the surrounding office buildings in Cherry Creek and Glendale. What also sticks out about Glendale is the numerous outdoor spaces that are around. In the 850 acres of Glendale there are 7 parks and the Cherry Creek Trail.
