By 1900, all the even-numbered sections were taken and by 1910, every section in the township had been settled. Names of the people who were to remain and to keep the lands were the Bradfords, John Dybwad, Ira Bunnell, H. S. Halverson, Carl McDaniel, Conrad Thiede, H. M. Tucker, A. H. Berg, William Thurlow, H. J. Bond, Dan Clancy, A. W. Johnson, William Turner, T. E. Hutchinson, Carl Erickson and Herman and Anton Johnson.

On June 30, 1906, 30 voters in this township petitioned the board of commissioners to make this congressional township a civil one, and so was passed the resolution "...that the Congressional Township 146,62W is hereby organized as a civil township to be known as Glenfield Township and the first township meeting as called for August 4, 1906."

Thus was organized the governing body which has been responsible for the township ever since. Among those who have served the longest over the years on this board are Arnold McDaniel, Leroy Johnson, and Lars Walen.

To serve the needs of the farmers in this new township in eastern Foster County, it was necessary that a more convenient business district be established. On May 16, 1912, appeared the following notice in the Carrington paper: Third new town started, Glenfield: Lots go on sale Monday. The following businesses will be established: two lumber yards, two general stores, restaurant and hotel, blacksmith shop, bank, and hardware store. It wilt be located in the center of Glenfield Township about 20 miles from Carrington.

And so, chartered in 1912, and established in the newly-laid Great Northern Surrey Cut-Off on section 21 the new town of Glenfield is located (named like the township in which it is located, from the topography of the area).
