City of Glendale, Missouri The City of Glendale was named after a small station between Webster Groves and Kirkwood on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Glendale was a sparsely settled area of elegant country homes and estates around the time of the Civil War. First efforts to incorporate the area as a village were made in 1912, when a meeting was held at the home of H. F. Nichols, a member of the town's first Board of Trustees. Others serving on this Board were S. E. Jones, R. Brascher, A. H. Duncan, and T. H. Kavanaugh, with George B. Logan acting as the first attorney for the newly formed community. It was 1916 when Glendale became a fourth-class city, and by 1920, the population of this purely residential community stood at 749. Glendalemo.org~Site InfoWhoisTrace RouteRBL Check
