The Houses
The houses in the original village were built by the owners of the mill. These houses were the start of the town of Glendale today.
The Trolley
The town of Glendale was served by an electric street car system over a hundred years ago. The trolley, as it was known, was very important in the lives of  the people of Glendale.

Textile Baseball
Textile league baseball was very important in the lives of  the people in the small textile towns of the Upstate , including Glendale. Like many things associated with the mill, it now exists only in memory.

Camp Croft
World War II brought one of the biggest construction projects in the history of South Carolina right to the outskirts of Glendale. The Camp Croft Recruit Training Center had a big economic impact on all of Spartanburg County, including Glendale. Many Glendale folks became acquainted with the soldiers from the camp. The War effort had come close to home.
