Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 55 to 46 (-16%). Half of its homes were built before 1966.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Glendale yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Glendale is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Glendale has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Logan County Courthouse in Napoleon, 7.1 miles away.
