History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Glen was inside the original Town of Mohawk, which was subdivided out of existence. Glen was first settled by European colonists in the 18th century, circa 1725. The Town was formed in 1823 from the Town of Charleston.

In 1848, a larger concentrated settlement in the town along the Mohawk River incorporated as the village of Fultonville. Other notable settlements in the Town include the hamlets of Glen, Mill Point, Auriesville, and Stone Ridge.
