Glenwood is a city in Pike and Montgomery counties in Arkansas, United States.

Glenwood was formed as a boomtown following the development of the Gurdon and Fort Smith Railroad and timber interests in the area.

After the establishment of a lumber mill, the community received a post office and incorporated in April 1909.

[4] Although the community saw its major employer leave during the Great Depression, the city has again seen rapid growth in recent decades.

The city also sees significant tourism related to its scenic position in the Ouachitas and among several recreational lakes.

Youngsters from around the county compete in beauty pageants, talent shows, and animal exhibits.

The annual Caddo River Festival is sponsored by the Glenwood Regional Chamber of Commerce the last weekend in April in the downtown area.

The festival incorporates a parade, local talent, various vendors and food trucks, antique car and tractor shows, 5K race, and the premier attraction: canoe races (Canoes are on wheels and pushed up the main street).

Glenwood is the site of Billy's House of Guitars and Musical Museum, which includes instruments and memorabilia from notable guitarists such as Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Elvis Presley and Pete Seeger.

Canoeing and fishing are available on the Caddo River, which flows through the city before widening into DeGray Lake.
