Glen Becker

Glen Becker was originally known by the name Red Tavern, which was inspired by a local watering hole.

 

The community's post office was established in 1883. W. L. Hart is identified as a postmaster for Glen Becker, while Mrs. R. Barkley is also recorded as a postmistress.

 

Historical records indicate that the hamlet supported a cheese factory and a blacksmith shop operated by J. Hall.
