In 1994 the community published " Glencarlyn Remembered: The First 100 Years ." This downloadable PDF file will tell you a tremendous amount about the community's history.
Another great resource is History of Glencarlyn Park and Long Branch Nature Center published by the Arlington Historical Society in 1985.
And visit the Wonderful Trees of Glencarlyn self-guided tour storymap published in 2020. Also see Marvelous Long Branch Nature Center & Glencarlyn Park for a narrower focus on our park.
