The area that would become modern Glennville was first opened to settlement in 1773. In the early decades of the 19th century; settlers converged around the intersection of Hencart Road and Reidsville-Johnston�s Station Road. The community that grew around this intersection came to be known as Philadelphia�a name it would hold until 1889; when the village�s first post office was established. The village was then renamed after a prominent schoolteacher and minister; Glenn Thompson; who was instrumental in securing the post office for the village. Glennville was incorporated as a town in 1894 and continued to grow remarkably through the coming decades until it became the commercial and agricultural hub of Tattnall County.
