GLENDALE, Ariz. — Glendale is not just home to this year's Super Bowl. It is Arizona's sixth-largest city and has existed since before the state achieved statehood in 1912. Here are some interesting historical facts about the city to share with friends before Sunday's big game: William J. Murphy came to Arizona in the 1880s to build a railroad and ended up founding a new town. In 1891, the "colony of Glendale" was established and advertised as a peaceful community for farmers looking to make a fresh start, according to the Glendale Historical Society.
