History

Located in a hollow of the Loess Hills, Glenwood was established by Mormons in 1848 as Coonsville and prospered during the California Gold Rush largely due to the grain mill on Keg Creek. Coonsville was the scene of anti-Mormon mob violence, became the county seat of Mills County in 1851, and was renamed Glenwood after the bulk of Mormons left for Utah in 1852. The community was active in the creation of Nebraska Territory in 1854, including two Glenwood attorneys elected to the Nebraska territorial legislature who were run out of town for accepting shares in Scriptown. At the end of the Civil War, an Iowa Veteran's Orphans Home was located here where evangelist Billy Sunday spent time as a child.

In 1876 the State Veteran's Orphan's Home at Glenwood became the Iowa Asylum for Feeble-Minded Children, the 7th such facility in the country and the first located west of the Mississippi River. The Glenwood facility expanded greatly with the treatment of mental retardation and acceptance of eugenics and became the Iowa Institution for Feeble-Minded Children. The grounds and now demolished Administration Building were largely patterned on the Kirkbride Plan, as state funding permitted. The institution has long dominated Glenwood both economically and culturally although the IIFMC was self-sufficient and the residents were intentionally isolated from the rest of the town. By 1925 the Glenwood IIFMC was the home of 1,555 "inmates" categorized between idiots, imbeciles, and morons. The IIFMC became the Glenwood State-Hospital School in 1941 and during the early 1950s covered 1,185 acres with 310 staff members responsible for the 1,968 "patients" who were subjected to state-mandated sterilization and experiments. Deinstitutionalization of Glenwood began in the late 1950's, especially after the November 17, 1957 Des Moines Register revealed that Mayo Buckner had spent 59 years confined to Glenwood with a 120 IQ. National attention came to Buckner and the Glenwood State-Hospital School in the December 9, 1957 issue of Time Magazine and the March 25, 1958 issue of Life Magazine. The transformation from traditional ward buildings into group home styled cottages was largely completed during the 1970s. The facility is now known as the Glenwood Resource Center. 1876 (MDCCCLXXVI) was a leap year starting on Saturday. ... Look up asylum in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

The University of Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist -- Glenwood (5606 words)
Glenwood is still a commonly used name for the Nebraska phase in Iowa, although archaeologists prefer to consider Glenwood one of a number of localities containing Nebraska phase sites (Blakeslee and Caldwell 1979).
As dates for the Glenwood locality began to accumulate (Brown 1967; Hotopp 1978a, 1978b), the temporal span of the occupation of the region compressed, and Anderson?s phases, which were based on ceramic seriation, could not be considered valid.
Perry (1998) extended the temporal model to the Glenwood locality settlement pattern, postulating the presence of a village at the mouth of Pony Creek.
