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.

It offers plenty of open space and a slower pace, with Columbus nearby for schools, grocery stores, and local dining.
