History
The area around Glen Mills was part of the original land grant given to William
Penn in 1681. George Cheyney was the first settler here, for which the nearby
town of Cheyney is named. Later, this land was sold and divided. Nathaniel
Newlin built a mill at Glen Mills in 1704, providing growth and a name for the
town. A blacksmith shop was built of the former property in 1975.
A "wild west" themed restaurant/roadside attraction known as "The Longhorn
Ranch" operated in Glen Mills during the 1970s. In the 1980s, that same site was
the location of Pulsations nightclub.
