Historic Journey Up Cove Boulevard in Panama City, Florida - Panama City, Florida

The Glenwood Community has been referred to at varying times by sundry groups as "The Quarters," as "East End," as "Shine Town," and some extremely negative designations. It has existed since the nineteen-twenties; and it has a noble history, with an incredible record of perseverance and buoyancy. Like Bay County, it has been populated by people from several areas of the country; however, the turpentine, fish, and sawmill industries as well as tourism and stevedoring initiatives impacted the growth of the population. All of the aforementioned represented sources of livelihood for some of the early settlers. There was an innate desire by many of these pioneers to become independent and mimic the free enterprise system so common to this country by becoming entrepreneurs. Their efforts showed an unusual amount of wisdom in that each business enterprise focused on the needs of a people in a segregated society of unequal financial opportunity.
