==History==
[[Image:Glenn Falls 1841.jpg|thumb|"Glenn Falls", 1841]]
[[File:Glens Falls, N.Y. LOC 75694777.jpg|thumb|Panoramic map with list of landmarks, 1884]]

The area is originally called Chepontuc ("difficult place to get around") in the Iroquoian languages of the area's Indigenous inhabitants. It also referred to as the "Great Carrying Place." Later, European-American settlers named the area "The Corners" in English.<ref name="book"/>

As a halfway point between [[Fort Edward (town), New York|Fort Edward]] and [[Fort William Henry]], the falls was the site of several battles during the [[French and Indian War]] and the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]]. The then-[[Hamlet (New York)|hamlet]] was mostly destroyed by fire twice during the latter conflict, forcing the [[Quakers]] to abandon the settlement until the war ended in 1783. Fire also ravaged the village in 1864, 1884, and 1902.<ref name="book"/>

In 1766 it was renamed Wing's Falls for Abraham Wing – the leader of the group of Quakers who established the permanent settlement – and for the falls on the Hudson River. Wing's claim to the name of the falls and the hamlet was transferred to Colonel Johannes Glen of Schenectady in 1788, either on collection of a debt, as a result of a game of cards, or in exchange for hosting a party for mutual friends, depending on which local legend is believed.<ref name="roots">{{cite web |url=http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywarren/countyhistory/smith/xxv_part2.htm |title=History of Warren County, H.
