==History== {{More citations needed section|date=June 2023}} The Village of Glenwillow was carved out of [[Solon, Ohio|Solon]] Township and established in 1893 as a [[company town]] by [[Austin Powder Company]]. As the population in surrounding areas, particularly the city of Solon, increased, Austin Powder was unable to test its explosive products. It moved its manufacturing operations to [[Athens, Ohio]], and closed its Glenwillow plant in 1972. In the 1980s, the village installed infrastructural and utility improvements and added a {{convert|250|acre|km2|adj=on}} industrial park. Served by the [[Solon High School|Solon City Schools]], a system consistently rated as one of the 100 best schools in the U.S. by publications such as ''[[Newsweek]]'' and ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'', the village has since experienced residential development. In the early 2000s, the village received significant investment through [[mixed-use development]], including renovation of the former Austin Powder housing stock and general store into boutiques, a tavern, in conjunction with a new town center, village park and new housing in a town plan layout.
