Glenvil Nebraska 68941

Glenvil is a Clay County village founded in 1873, originally platted and spelled "Glenville" until a 1914 renaming shortened it to its current form.

The town's 1903 schoolhouse, still known by its original name as the Glenville School, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1997, Bill Gates donated $5,000 toward a community playground after Glenvil residents wrote letters asking celebrities for help — a Glenvil native working in Hong Kong separately gave $20,000 toward the same project.
