The first home had been built in the town the previous month by John B. Glaze. By 1869, a schoolhouse had been constructed as well as a two-story block of brick buildings with room for four businesses. Being at the crossing point of two railroads, the St. Louis, Kansas City & Nebraska Railroad and the Keokuk & Western railway, Glenwood saw rapid early growth. By 1873, the town included a large woolen factory, a flour mill, foundry, machine shop, wagon factory and a multitude of other businesses. The Glenwood Citerion newspaper began publication in 1870 and Logan's Bank, the town's first, was established in 1875.
On July 26, 2011, the United States Postal Service announced plans to permanently close the Glenwood post office as part of a nationwide restructuring plan.
