The history of Glencoe dates back to 1853 when the first settler arrived and began clearing land for farming. In 1881, the railroad came through and Glencoe became a bustling town with businesses such as a hotel, grocery store, blacksmith shop and lumberyard. The growth of the town continued until World War II when many men were drafted into service and factories closed down. However, by the 1970s Glencoe had begun to experience a resurgence as young families moved into the town due to its excellent schools and recreational opportunities such as skiing at nearby Winter Park Resort.

Today, Glencoe is still considered one of Minnesota's most desirable towns to live in with its picturesque downtown area featuring well-maintained historic buildings and plenty of shopping options including boutiques, art galleries and specialty stores. Additionally, Glencoe is only minutes away from world-renowned ski resorts such as Winter Park Resort and Deer Valley Resort which makes it an ideal place to raise a family or retire.
