who worked so hard by the will of God
to clear this land and break the sod
To Our Citizens

to bear their torch and carry it high
A Welsh emigrant, Mr. Edwin Dando Hoskins arrived here in 1908. He set to the task of organizing a post office, stopping house for travelers near this spot and a local improvement district. The area reminded him of Glaslyn Lake and Glaslyn Valley in Wales and prompted him to call the new district Glaslyn. The CNR extended service to the district in 1925. In 1929 it was incorporated as a village bearing that name.
