history
Glenview was settled with Ashfield in 1792, but was never built in untill the late 1900s, As ashfield slowly grew, a streetcar line was put on the road through western Glenview. A few farms were built but nothing significant untill the late 1910s when the port of greenfield was built, the cities saw massive growth of population and expanded quickly through the early 1920s, the eastern portion had a couple of large mansions on the waterfront, and the area was built as a large mansion district for the rich business owners of ashfield. A large library was built on the eastern portion and the city grew quickly after that.
The growth stopped in the early 1970s when two highways cut right through the district and destroyed all the mansions on the waterfront, most of the rich people moved out of the mansions and they were turned into duplexes or apartments. The area was at its worst at this time, and many people and businesses moved out to the brand new suburbs. during the 80s many small businesses were destroyed in the 80s and replaced with large office buildings, making the area even less accesible. Greenfield got another huge population boom and many of the vacant houses and apartments were refurbished or rebuilt into brand new luxury living near downtown. During the 2010s many blocks of older smaller buildings were rebuilt into large 5 over 1 buildings, many activists were against this but they are still rebuilding older areas into brand new apartments to this day, and theres no stopping anytime soon/
