Glendale, Oregon

Glendale is a city in Douglas County, Oregon, United States.After construction of a railroad line south from Roseburg in 1881–83, Solomon Abraham, the local right-of-way agent, platted the community and named it "Julia" after his wife.After a dispute with Abraham, A. F. Morris, the chief engineer for the railroad, changed the name to "Glendale".A Julia post office was established in February 1883, and its name was changed to Glendale in August of the same year.In the 1880s, Russian-Jewish immigrants came here trying to escape the anti-Semitic rule of Alexander III.[6] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.40 square miles (1.04 km2), all of it land.
