About Glyndon
Glyndon offers a quiet, small-town pace with the convenience of having the Fargo-Moorhead metro area just a short drive down Highway 10. Founded in the 1870s as a railroad settlement, it has grown into a welcoming community popular with commuters, families, and anyone looking for a little more breathing room. Living here gives you peaceful residential streets, a tight-knit neighborhood feel, and local schools in the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton district, all within an easy fifteen-minute drive of regional shopping, dining, and healthcare.
Everyday life in town centers around simple local spots and quick access to the outdoors. Johnson Park is a neighborhood favorite for its playground, picnic shelter, and sand volleyball court, while the community center hosts events and gatherings throughout the year. Right next door, Buffalo River State Park sits in Glyndon's backyard, giving residents miles of wooded river trails, peaceful campsites, and wide-open tallgrass prairie whenever they want a quick escape into nature.
