History

Glasgow got its start thanks to some investors from Scotland. These investors decided to build a special kind of factory there called a blast furnace. A blast furnace is a very large oven used to melt iron ore and make iron. The town itself was officially planned out, or platted, in 1873. This means that maps were drawn up showing where the streets, houses, and other buildings would go.
