Glendale is proud to be your go-to online destination for all things happening in our vibrant city and beyond. Founded in 2017, our mission has been to deliver unbiased, accurate, and engaging news content that reflects the spirit of Glendale and its diverse communities.
Our Story
The idea behind Glendale was born out of a recognized need for a reliable local news source. We noticed a gap in the market for an outlet dedicated solely to the rich tapestry of stories and events that make up life in Glendale.

Over the years, we've celebrated numerous milestones:
- 2018: We introduced a weekly features section, showcasing local talent and businesses.
- 2019: Glendale expanded its reach with a dedicated sports section, highlighting the competitive spirit of our community.
- 2020: To support our readers during challenging times, we launched a series on mental health awareness, receiving overwhelming positive feedback.
- 2022: We hit a significant milestone—10 million page views, thanks to our dedicated team and supportive readers.
