History

The community is named after Charles R. Glidden, a founder of the Wisconsin Central Railroad, along which it is located. Marion Park Pavilion was built in 1938 during the depression and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1963, a 10 ft 7 in (3.23 m), 665-pound (302 kg) Black Bear was hunted in the Glidden area. The town immediately took on the title of “Black Bear Capital of the World”, and many local businesses made “Black Bear” a part of their name. Glidden Public School also changed its mascot from the Viking to the Black Bear.
