Glenwood is located in Mills County, one of the fastest growing areas in Iowa. Nestled in the beautiful Loess Hills, a National Scenic By-Way brings you through Glenwood from north to south and a four mile drive from Interstate 29 brings you here from the west. The Glenwood Exit is 15 miles south of the nation's crossroad of I-29 and I-80.

During the summer of 2008 an Assement was done by the IDED on the Downtown area.
