Glen Allen, Virginia, is a lively suburban area situated in northern Henrico County, just about 11 miles from downtown Richmond. It began as “Mountain Road Crossing” in the 1830s with the arrival of the railroad and was later renamed after the home of local resident Mrs. Benjamin Allen. The community saw further growth thanks to Captain John Cussons, a Confederate scout and businessman, who built the Forest Lodge resort near the train line. Today, Glen Allen is a growing and diverse neighborhood of around 16,600 people. With a population made up of various racial and ethnic groups, including White, Black, and Asian residents, it offers a welcoming and dynamic environment. The area features a range of amenities like parks, shops, and restaurants, making it a popular choice for families and professionals looking for a peaceful suburban lifestyle close to Richmond.
