Description

First Nations groups have used the Fish Creek valley for over 8000 years, but it wasn't until 1873 that the first permanent settlers of European descent arrived. At 16 years of age, John Glenn is said to have emigrated from Ireland to New York City. After serving in the US civil war, he moved throughout western North America to trade and prospect for gold. In late September of 1873, John and his new bride Adelaide Belcourt settled at the confluence of Fish Creek and the Bow River - making them (along with Sam Livingstone) Calgary's first permanent residents.
