History of Glennie
Glennie began its story in 1889. It started as a "depot" on the Detroit and Mackinac Railway. A depot was like a train station where trains would stop. It was first known as 'Glennie Station'.
A post office was opened in the community on October 5, 1889. This was an important step for the growing community. It made it easier for people to communicate and do business.
In 1894, the community's name was made shorter. It changed from 'Glennie Station' to just 'Glennie'. Later, in 1940, the village was "platted." This means that the area was officially surveyed and mapped out into streets and building lots. This helped organize the community as it grew.
