History

The facility is now known as the Glenwood Resource Center. Other early industries included an iron foundry, an expansive marble and stone works, the Glenwood Creamery, and a large cannery that covered a city block on the east side of Locust Street and distributed its products under the brand-name "The Glenwood". Coonsville was the scene of anti-Mormon mob violence, became the county seat of Mills County in 1851, and was renamed Glenwood after the bulk of Mormons left for Utah in 1852. By 1925 the Glenwood IIFMC was the home of 1,555 inmates categorized between idiots, imbeciles, and morons. The IIFMC became the Glenwood State-Hospital School in 1941 and during the early 1950s covered with 310 staff members responsible for the 1,968 patients who were subjected to state-mandated Sterilization (surgical procedure) and experiments.
