Description From Owner:
  • Prior to 1866 this place was called Pembroke, likely after the place of that name in Wales. Glenbervie was named for Bervie in Kincardineshire, Scotland, with glen' added to connote a secluded valley, making the name descriptive.
  • John Cummings obtained a land survey here in 1785 and Robert Deyarmond settled in 1790.
  • Pembroke: The name Pembroke was given to this place before 1866, likely for Pembroke in Wales.
  • Around 1873 people began calling the place Glenbervie for Bervie in Kincardineshire in Scotland, with the 'glen,' meaning a secluded valley, added, to make the name partly descriptive. Over time the original name prevailed, and is in use today.
