Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Glenwood, MO

Glenwood is a village in Schuyler County, Missouri, and part of the Kirksville Micropolitan Statistical Area.

The town of Glenwood was laid out by Alexander and Stiles Forsha in November 1868, with a plat of a town square and forty-four other blocks; the first home had been built the month before by John B. Glaze.

Glenwood was incorporated in 1869, and a post office opened there the same year.

Standing at the crossing of two railroads — the St. Louis, Kansas City & Nebraska Railroad and the Keokuk & Western Railway — Glenwood grew rapidly, and by 1873 it had a large woolen factory, a flour mill, a foundry, a machine shop, and a wagon factory.

The town's newspaper, the Glenwood Criterion, began publication in 1870, and Logan's Bank, Glenwood's first bank, was established in 1875.

On July 26, 2011, the United States Postal Service announced plans to permanently close the Glenwood post office as part of a nationwide restructuring.

Glenwood is the birthplace of James Ward Rector (1903–1979), who went on to serve as a justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

The village covers 0.74 square miles, all of it land.

The 2010 census counted 196 people in Glenwood living in 89 households, and the 2020 census counted 179 residents, making it the smallest incorporated place in Schuyler County.
