Welcome: I do not live in Glenn County, but will do my very best to assist with questions.

Glenn county sits approximately 100 miles north of Sacramento at the northern end of the Central Valley of California. With 1,188 farms, agriculture remains the key to Glenn County’s economy. Its major commodities are rice, almonds, milk products, prunes and livestock. Glenn County was incorporated on March 5, 1891. The County seat, Willows, was created March 11, 1891. The county was created out of the northern portion of Colusa County and was named for Dr. Hugh J. Glenn, who was the largest wheat farmer in the state during his lifetime, and a man of great prominence in political and commercial life in California. It has a population of 26,950. The northern portion of the county is in the Mendocino National Forest.
