Welcome to Glen Rose
Welcome to Glen Rose, Texas! Let’s start with a little history! The Somervell County Courthouse. When the townsite of Glen Rose was first surveyed in 1878, the courthouse square was an open cornfield. Town promoter, Tyler Calhoun Jordan, agreed to erect the first courthouse if locals would buy commercial lots surrounding the square. He constructed a simple stone building, but in 1893, the building burned. Somervell County taxpayers built the current replacement.
Since that time this Late Victorian limestone structure has served as the seat of government for Somervell County and has been the visual anchor for the town square. When a tremendous tornado struck Glen Rose on April 28, 1902, destroying dozens of homes and killing six residents, it swept away the clock faces from the courthouse tower. The stone walls, however, withstood the winds. Four years later the new clock faces returned to the tower, commercial lots were being built and has become what you know today.
