История
Находясь на полпути между Фортом Эдвард и Фортом Уильяма Генри, водопад был местом нескольких сражений во время Франко-индейской войны и Войны за независимость. В то время поселок был дважды уничтожен пожарами во время последнего конфликта, что вынудило квакеров покинуть его до окончания войны в 1783 году. Пожары также опустошали деревню в 1864, 1884 и 1902 годах. Полковник Глен изменил название на "Glen's Falls", хотя оно часто печаталось с различным написанием, например, "Glenn's" или "Glens". Впоследствии в обиходе закрепилось название "Glens Falls". Когда в 1908 году законодательное собрание штата предоставило городу устав, Glens Falls аннексировало часть города. Земля, известная как поле ветеранов, в то время была свободна и вошла в состав аннексии для соответствия государственному закону о сопряженности аннексированных территорий. В результате город и округ совместно владеют этим участком шоссе. Кроме того, ниже перечислены несколько отдельных построек. В Glens Falls нет местного закона об охране исторических памятников, защищающего их от сноса или изменения.
As a halfway point between Fort Edward and Fort William Henry, the falls was the site of several battles during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. The then hamlet was mostly destroyed by fire twice during the latter conflict, forcing the Quakers to abandon the settlement until the war ended in 1783. Fire also ravaged the village in 1864, 1884, and 1902. Colonel Glen changed the name to "Glen's Falls," though it was often printed with varying spelling such as "Glenn's," or "Glens". The spelling "Glens Falls" came to be the common usage. when the state legislature granted the city charter in 1908, Glens Falls annexed approximately of the town. The land, known as Veterans Field The land was vacant at the time. was part of this annexation, to comply with state law on contiguity of annexed land. As a result, the city and town share co own this stretch of highway. In addition, several individual structures are listed, some below. Glens Falls does not have a local preservation law protecting these historic resources from demolition or alteration. Crandall Public Library – While the library has existed since 1893, it did not have a permanent home until 1931, with the completion of the library building in City Park, on property local entrepreneur Henry Crandall willed to the library. Charles A. Platt designed the building and Robert Rheinlander built it; it was renovated and expanded in 1969. The city completed the building's first renovation and expansion, involving the demolition of the 1969 addition, in November 2008. The library is a part of the Southern Adirondack Library System. Civil War Monument – A limestone obelisk at the intersection of Glen, South, and Bay streets, the monument was dedicated in 1872 to honor the 644 men from Queensbury who served in the Civil War. Ninety five names, those of the men who died, are engraved on the monument. Many battles of the war are listed. DeLong House – Presently the home of the Glens Falls/Queensbury Historical Association and the Chapman Historical Museum, it is a Greek Revival and Second Empire edifice on the corner of Glen and Bacon Streets. A Queen Anne style carriage barn is part of the property. The Feeder Canal – Across from this historic canal is a hydro electric power plant on the Hudson River at Glens Falls. The canal was created circa 1820 to feed water into the Champlain Canal. During the early 19th century, the New York State Canal System was crucial to the development of the state's economy. Lime, marble, lumber, and agricultural commodities were shipped between Glens Falls and the docks at the base of Canal Street. First Presbyterian Church – The congregation was chartered in 1803; its fifth house of worship was constructed in 1929. It was designed by Ralph Adams Cram in his "presbyterian style" of neo gothic architecture. Fort Amherst Road – Located near this road is the site of the former Fort Amherst. While the fort no longer exists, parts of the wood foundations were known as late as 1880. The fort constituted a block house marking the halfway point on the road between Fort Edward and Fort William Henry at the head of Lake George. This fort system, erected by the British, was built to secure the colony's northern territories from French incursions during the French and Indian War. A restored fort house complex is available for viewing in the nearby town of Fort Ann. Louis Fiske Hyde House – The center among a triplet of revival type residences constructed for the daughters of Samuel Pruyn by the architects Robert Rheinlander and Henry Forbes Bigelow, Hyde House houses The Hyde Collection, a world class museum of European, American, and contemporary art. The principal collection is presented in its original domestic context as a private collection. The Oldest Building in Glens Falls – In 1864, a massive fire destroyed most of buildings in the central business district. The oldest building in Glens Falls, in the downtown area, is one of the few buildings in the city that antedates 1864. The stone and brick structure at the bottom of the hill was erected circa 1815 and served as Calvin Robbin's blacksmith shop. Quaker Meeting House – Built in 1875, the Quaker Meeting House, an Italianate edifice on Ridge Street, originally did not have a heating system. St. Mary St. Alphonsus Regional Catholic School – Formerly known as St. Mary's Academy, the school is on the corner of Warren and Church streets. It is in the neo Gothic style of architecture and designed by Ralph Adams Cram. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It features a Great Hall with a two story stained glass window designed by Henry Lee Willett Studios of Philadelphia. A New York State historical marker referencing American Modernist painter Wilhelmina Weber Furlong was placed near City Hall in 2013, during the Warren County Bicentennial. Furlong spent about a decade at the end of her life living and teaching in Glens Falls.
Публичная библиотека Крандэлла – Хотя библиотека существует с 1893 года, у нее не было постоянного здания до 1931 года, когда строительство в Городском парке было завершено, на участке земли, завещанном библиотеке местным предпринимателем Генри Крандэллом. Здание спроектировал Чарльз А. Платт, а построил Роберт Райнландер; оно было отремонтировано и расширено в 1969 году. В ноябре 2008 года город завершил первую реконструкцию и расширение здания, включая снос пристройки 1969 года. Библиотека является частью Южной библиотечной системы Адирондак.

Форт представлял собой блокгауз, обозначавший середину пути между Фортом Эдвард и Фортом Уильяма Генри у подножия озера Джордж. Эта система фортов, возведенная британцами, была построена для защиты северных территорий колонии от французских вторжений во время Франко-индейской войны. Восстановленный комплекс форт-хаусов можно увидеть в близлежащем городе Форт-Энн.
As a halfway point between Fort Edward and Fort William Henry, the falls was the site of several battles during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. The then hamlet was mostly destroyed by fire twice during the latter conflict, forcing the Quakers to abandon the settlement until the war ended in 1783. Fire also ravaged the village in 1864, 1884, and 1902. Colonel Glen changed the name to "Glen's Falls," though it was often printed with varying spelling such as "Glenn's," or "Glens". The spelling "Glens Falls" came to be the common usage. when the state legislature granted the city charter in 1908, Glens Falls annexed approximately of the town. The land, known as Veterans Field The land was vacant at the time. was part of this annexation, to comply with state law on contiguity of annexed land.

Crandall Public Library – While the library has existed since 1893, it did not have a permanent home until 1931, with the completion of the library building in City Park, on property local entrepreneur Henry Crandall willed to the library. Charles A. Platt designed the building and Robert Rheinlander built it; it was renovated and expanded in 1969. The city completed the building's first renovation and expansion, involving the demolition of the 1969 addition, in November 2008. The library is a part of the Southern Adirondack Library System. Civil War Monument – A limestone obelisk at the intersection of Glen, South, and Bay streets, the monument was dedicated in 1872 to honor the 644 men from Queensbury who served in the Civil War. Ninety five names, those of the men who died, are engraved on the monument. Many battles of the war are listed. DeLong House – Presently the home of the Glens Falls/Queensbury Historical Association and the Chapman Historical Museum, it is a Greek Revival and Second Empire edifice on the corner of Glen and Bacon Streets. A Queen Anne style carriage barn is part of the property. The Feeder Canal – Across from this historic canal is a hydro electric power plant on the Hudson River at Glens Falls. The canal was created circa 1820 to feed water into the Champlain Canal. During the early 19th century, the New York State Canal System was crucial to the development of the state's economy. Lime, marble, lumber, and agricultural commodities were shipped between Glens Falls and the docks at the base of Canal Street.

It was designed by Ralph Adams Cram in his "presbyterian style" of neo gothic architecture. Fort Amherst Road – Located near this road is the site of the former Fort Amherst. While the fort no longer exists, parts of the wood foundations were known as late as 1880. The fort constituted a block house marking the halfway point on the road between Fort Edward and Fort William Henry at the head of Lake George. This fort system, erected by the British, was built to secure the colony's northern territories from French incursions during the French and Indian War. A restored fort house complex is available for viewing in the nearby town of Fort Ann.

The principal collection is presented in its original domestic context as a private collection. The Oldest Building in Glens Falls – In 1864, a massive fire destroyed most of buildings in the central business district. The oldest building in Glens Falls, in the downtown area, is one of the few buildings in the city that antedates 1864. The stone and brick structure at the bottom of the hill was erected circa 1815 and served as Calvin Robbin's blacksmith shop. Quaker Meeting House – Built in 1875, the Quaker Meeting House, an Italianate edifice on Ridge Street, originally did not have a heating system. St. Mary St. Alphonsus Regional Catholic School – Formerly known as St. Mary's Academy, the school is on the corner of Warren and Church streets. It is in the neo Gothic style of architecture and designed by Ralph Adams Cram. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It features a Great Hall with a two story stained glass window designed by Henry Lee Willett Studios of Philadelphia. A New York State historical marker referencing American Modernist painter Wilhelmina Weber Furlong was placed near City Hall in 2013, during the Warren County Bicentennial. Furlong spent about a decade at the end of her life living and teaching in Glens Falls.

The city is represented on the Warren County Board of Supervisors by five supervisors; one supervisor is elected from each Common Council ward. Such "city ward supervisors" do not have any duties in city government but have all the rights and privileges as any other member of the County Board. Departments of the City include: Cemetery, Community, Fire, Police, Public Works, Purchasing, Recreation, Controller, Assessment, Civil Service, Clerk, Water & Sewer, and Buildings and Codes.
