Glen Ullin was started in 1883. It was built along the path of the Northern Pacific Railway, which was a very long train track that crossed the whole country.
A man named Major Alvan E. Bovay from the railway company chose the name. "Glen" is a Scottish word for "valley," which fits because the city is in a valley. "Ullin" comes from a poem called Lord Ullin's Daughter by Thomas Campbell. Many of the first people to settle in Glen Ullin were Germans from Russia.
