Glenfawn may have been named by Julien Sidney Devereux, who owned the Monte Verdi Plantation and lived here before the American Civil War, or to commemorate a fawn being killed in the area by Ellis Glenn or Glen Garland. A post office was established at Glenfawn in 1872, and remained in operation until 1955, with Charles L. Nunally as postmaster. Mail was then sent to the community from Cushing. It remained a farming community for most of its history. Cotton was the most common crop shipped from Henderson. 250 people were living in Glenfawn in 1884 and were served by a steam-powered sawmill, a church, a doctor, a wagonmaker, gristmills, cotton gins, and general stores.
