Glendale, Arizona

Glendale, Arizona resides in Maricopa County northwest of the capital area. With an approximate population of 252,000, this city was once nothing more than a railroad in a desert. A Beet Sugar Factory built in 1906 was instrumental to the influx of immigrants and migrants that populated the city in the early 20th century. As a tribute to its historical roots, Glendale intends to unveil an extension of the Valley Metro Rail service in 2026; a reprise of the original Phoenix Street Railway from 1911 that brought so many settlers to the town. Today, many historical remnants reside alongside a lively modern downtown.

Visitors in Glendale never find themselves without something to do. Between the brand new 11 acre lagoon-style waterpark, the Phoenix Zoo with over 3,000 animals and special exhibits, and two major sports venues, Glendale is jam-packed with exciting attractions. If something sit-down is more your style, grab a slice and a brew at the beloved local Yard House pub.
