Glen Flora is a village in Rusk County, Wisconsin. The Village of Glen Flora began as a settlement called Miller’s Siding; however this name only lasted about one year.

The railroad was first opened for use in 1886. The first post office was established in Glen Flora in December 1887. Three of the early settlers arrived about 1885 and homesteaded land in the area. These people still have descendants living in this area, namely John Edming, Mike Ward, and John LaPorte families. Within a short time three large sawmills were in operation and lumber, shingles, ties, and barrel stoves were shipped by rail.

Since that time Glen Flora has become the center of a farming community. Also, the Village has an active industrial park including Artisans Screen Printing that has over 250 people employed at it in a 120,000 sq.ft facility, and 5R Processors is located adjacent to Artisans and employs nearly 50 people in a 20,000 sq.ft facility.
