A brief look into the history of Glenn County will show you that Glenn County was created out of the northern portion of Colusa County on March 11, 1891, and was named after the prominent wheat farmer known as the ,Wheat King of the World,, Dr. Hugh J. Glenn. A more in-depth look at the formation of Glenn County will show that its separation from Colusa County created a fierce contest among the people of those counties.

The graciousness of ancestral families who allowed Anna into their homes, lives, and photographic collections has made this historic picture book an outstanding edition to the history of Glenn County.
