Organizational History of the Glover Machine
Works
1880-1995
The Glover Family has been in the Marietta area since prior to the Civil War and originally owned and operated a tannery, which was burned along with much of Marietta by General Sherman before the occupation of Atlanta. In the 1880’s the family acquired a machine works, which remained in business up to the end of the 20th century. Glover Machine Works produced products that reflected the growth of the area such as log skidders and loaders. In 1902 they started to manufacture locomotives and continued to do so for the next 28 years. Records indicate that production was close to 200 engines. In the 1930’s when the Glover Machine Works ceased production of locomotives they acquired another site in Cordele, Georgia and a trained core of workers from Marietta moved there to operate the plant. Much of the casting took place in Cordele and the Glover Machine Works was known in the industry for the quality of their high-pressure piping. The foundry in Marietta was razed in 1995. The plant in Cordele, Georgia is of this date (8 May 2002) still in the casting business. Much of what was saved includes archival and collections material including three complete locomotives and the largest single (complete) collection of locomotive casting patterns from any manufacturer in the world.
