Glen Ridge is a town and registered bird sanctuary [4] in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. It is part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. The population was 217 in the 2020 US census.
In 1932, the Trout family constructed and moved into the first house built in the area that became Glen Ridge. Twin brothers Kenyon and Karl Riddle purchased land west of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, south of Southern Boulevard, and northeast of the West Palm Beach Canal in 1935. [5] For reasons not entirely certain, the housing development split, with part of it becoming the neighboring town of Cloud Lake, in 1951. Glen Ridge, a 100 acres (40 ha) municipality, was incorporated on December 11, 1947, [5] [6] and received its name by resident Helen Mosler's suggestion, stating that the wooded canal bank resembled the ridge of a glen. [7]
Upon incorporation, residents elected John D. Watts as mayor; Ernest T. Delburn, Allison T. French, Max Mosler, Richard W. Owen, and John B. Tschirgi as aldermen; Josephyne H. French as town clerk; and John P. Stine as town manager. Three years later, the 1950 census recorded a population of 126 in Glen Ridge. [5] Council elections were held in the mayor's garage and meetings occurred in the members' houses through the mid-1990s, when the town began renting a storefront along Southern Boulevard. [8] Glen Ridge opened a permanent town hall and community center in September 2002, after expending approximately $110,000 to repurpose a former residence. [9] A 2014 Palm Beach Post profile on Glen Ridge reported that the town contained about 100 homes and levied no property taxes. Glen Ridge was also described as a bird sanctuary because the "dense green foliage forms a canopy over the street as you drive in." [10]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2), all land.
