Glenville - A Village Steeped in Heritage
On the western edge of Greenwich, Glenville offers a charming blend of historic roots and community spirit. Once known as Sherwood’s Bridge, this former mill village was built around the power of the Byram River, and many of its original architectural gems still stand today, including Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne–style buildings in its historic district.
Glenville draws residents who appreciate a quieter pace and the comfort of familiar surroundings, with local parks, community amenities, and the Bendheim Western Greenwich Civic Center serving as a vibrant hub for recreation and gatherings. Plus enjoy the Griffith E. Harris Golf Course, affectionately known as “The Griff”. It’s not technically in Glenville, but it’s just a short drive away in western Greenwich.
