The first post office at Glenn opened in 1903. A. K. Barham owned and operated the Glenn Store and on November 14, 1913, was appointed postmaster. At that time, the post office was located in the store. The town had a church, school, several homes and a saloon. Barham's father was a foreman on one of the wheat ranches of Dr. Hugh J. Glenn in Glenn County.

Terrain and local landmarks

The area is relatively flat land along the banks of the Sacramento River. A local landmark is the Glenn Post Office on SR45 just north of SR162. Farther north still along SR45 is the local Mennonite Church as there is a modest population of Mennonite farming families in this area. Much of the area is agricultural land under cultivation. West of town, there is a natural gas well field along SR162 between Glenn and Willows.
