Glendon is a picturesque village located in north of Carthage where the Glendon-Carthage road crosses the railroad. The community reached its prime in 1897 with the completion of the railroad from Sanford to Charlotte. The depot was an important factor in the town’s growth and development. Glendon also has the distinction of having a talc mine, one of the few in the country. The town was named after the Glendon Family, a major landowner in the area.
