Glennwood Estates has been a distinct parcel since DeKalb County, Georgia, was first divided into parcels. The property passed through a number of owners until it was sold to John T. Glenn, a carpetbagger from New York, c. 1869.[2] Mr. Glenn began developing land in the area in the 1870s. His house is noted on an 1879 map of Decatur.[3] After his death, a small portion of the land was sold for Glenwood School.
The area south of Glenn Creek was first subdivision parcel developed in 1927 by Pattillo, Hamff & Robarts. The original development included a provision to keep the area north of the creek as a forest.[2] However, the area north of the creek was developed beginning in 1939, and the neighborhood was completed shortly after World War II.
