About Glenwood

Glenwood is a quiet, small-town community centered around the intersection of Georgia 19 and US 280, marked by the town's only stoplight. Historic brick storefronts and the old railroad line anchor the downtown area, giving it a classic rural Georgia feel. Just down the road, the historic former high school building still stands as a recognizable landmark, while Sweetwater Horse Event Park draws crowds for weekend equestrian competitions and community gatherings.
