History

Glennville Adobe is Kern County’s oldest residence, built before the Civil War by Thomas Fitzgerald as a trading post at the junction of two Indian trails. The present Greenhorn Road follows the east-west trail, later called the McFarlane Toll Road, to the Kern River mining districts. The town was named in 1857 after James Madison Glenn, an early settler.
