Glenvil, Nebraska

History

Glenvil was founded in 1873 when the St. Joseph & Denver City Railroad was extended to that point.

The Glenvil post office, first established in 1873 (in the year the settlement was first surveyed) was spelled Glenville until 1914.

Glenville's population peaked at about 300 in the 1920s, and fell to about half that in 1998.

Glenville's first school was organized during 1871-72 and, like other rural schools, was housed in a wood frame building. It was demolished by a tornado and rebuilt in 1882. The Glenville School, the first substantial school in the village, operated from 1903 to 1995 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
