Welcome to the Glenmont Discussion Board. READ FIRST!

Glenmont was laid out in 1841 in a pleasant valley surrounded by seven hills. It soon became a thriving trade center for this area. In the early years Glenmont had many small businesses. There were grocery stores, blacksmith shops, a tin shop, hardware stores, a cheese house, a sawmill, a hotel, and a bank. The village also had a brickyard that supplied bricks for "The Old Brick Store", homes, and village sidewalks. A large industry for the village was the Glenmont Stone Quarries. These quarries not only supplied sandstone blocks for buildings and bridge culverts but also decorative stone in many distinct colors; and the company is still in operation today. The economic life of the community also depended on the busy Cleveland, Mt. Vernon, and Columbus Railroad. At one time there were four local passenger trains each day, and freight trains moved everything -- mail, milk, farm products, and stone -- by rail.
