History of Glennonville

Glennonville was first settled and built up mainly by German Catholic families. These families helped create the community we know today.

The name "Glennonville" was chosen to honor a very important person named John J. Glennon. He was the Archbishop of St. Louis, which means he was a senior leader in the Catholic Church for the St. Louis area.

A post office was opened in Glennonville in 1907. This post office served the community for many years, helping people send and receive mail. It stayed open until 1941.
