Glandore is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, partly in the City of Marion and partly in the City of West Torrens. The name is believed to come from Glandore in County Cork, Ireland, whence the family of John O'Dea, one of the original property owners of the area, came.

History

The City of Marion section of Glandore was originally named Edwardstown.

Edwardstown Industrial School (1898–1949) was renamed Glandore Industrial School until 1958, when it became Glandore Children's Home until its closure in 1966. Located on Naldera Street, it was a government-run institution catering for boys under the care of the state; girls were sent to Seaforth Home.

The Windana Remand Home (1965–1975), a correctional facility for young males, which was situated on Naldera Street, located within the grounds of the Glandore Boys Home.
