Developed 1896 - 1921
Settled in 1892, Glendale developed its own "downtown" where residents obtained the goods and services they needed. It was also where local farmers shipped the fruits, vegetables, and livestock they raised to national markets. Glendale blossomed into the largest town in the northwest Salt River Valley. Separated from Phoenix by miles of open space, Glendale's downtown had banks, groceries, theaters, department stores, and other businesses. The role of the downtown changed by the 1960's as the area grew and the automobile provided other shopping options. Yet Glendale businesses and government worked together since the 1980's to again make the area a regional destination.| HM Number | HMKCZ |
