Hugh J. Glenn

Hugh J. Glenn

Hugh James Glenn (1824-February 17, 1883) was a businessman and California politician. Educated as a doctor at McDowell's Medical College, Glenn worked as a farmer. Familiar with agrarian issues from his experience on the land, he began his public career on the California State Board of Agriculture. In 1879, he ran in the California gubernatorial elections, representing both the Democratic and New Constitution parties; however, he lost to Republican George C. Perkins.

Glenn was killed on his California ranch, in 1883, by Hurum Miller. In 1891, Glenn County was created and named for him.
