About Glidden

Glidden is a quiet community in Colorado County, situated just a few minutes west of Columbus. Originally established as a railroad hub along the line connecting Houston and West Texas, the area has settled into a relaxed, rural pocket. U.S. Highway 90 runs right through town and Interstate 10 sits along its southern edge, giving residents straightforward travel routes across the region. It offers plenty of open space and a slower pace, with Columbus nearby for schools, grocery stores, and local dining.
