Glenaire is a city in Clay County, Missouri, United States. The population was 539 at the 2020 census.[5] The city is completely surrounded by the city of Liberty. It was originally referred to as "Interurban Heights" or "Belleview" because of the interurban train that ran through the area and stopped at the Belleview depot near the Belleview Dairy. It is part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.

History

[edit]

Glenaire was originally the location of a resort in between the cities of Liberty and Claycomo. The resort was called Urban Lake and was home to a 14-acre (57,000 m2) lake that was open for recreational activities. The lake disappeared when the dam burst in 1945. Subsequently, in 1950 after petitioning the Clay County courts, the residents of the area celebrated the incorporation of The Village of Glenaire. In 1994 Glenaire became a 4th class city, shedding its status as a village.
