Glendale, Salt Lake City

Those who live in Glendale also cite it as affordable, and conveniently close to local schools, parks, the airport, and downtown Salt Lake City.

[2] The Glendale neighborhood is the area west of Interstate 15 to the western Salt Lake City boundary.

Both neighborhoods make up most of zip code 84104[5] and are within Salt Lake City Council District 2.

Industry and rail works isolated residential areas of the west side of Salt Lake City.

Before the 1930s, Salt Lake City was highly polluted, having hazy air, and the Jordan River was used as a sewage disposal canal, making it a less desirable place to live near.

[10] There are several houses on the east side of the Jordan River on present day California Avenue that were built prior to 1930.

[11] Based on aerial photography, a significant amount of residential development occurred in the Glendale neighborhood from 1937 to 1958, which is coincident with the post-World War II expansion.

[11][12] The early subdivisions were part of the Glendale Gardens housing project, built to accommodate a large influx of families moving to Utah for the war effort, associated with the relocation of the Ninth Service Command to Fort Douglas, Utah.

In 1941, several buildings were constructed within the Utah Ordnance Plant area for the purpose of producing World War II ammunition.

[11] ISalt Lake County worked with the Utah Division of Parks to establish the Jordan River Parkway during this time.

Glendale is home of Sorenson Unity Center, a community resource and gathering place where all cultures are celebrated and welcomed.
