Glynn is the name of an unincorporated community located in southeastern Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, United States. The community is located located along Louisiana Highway 416, west of the Mississippi River.

History

In 1847, an Irishman named Martin Glynn immigrated to New Orleans, Louisiana and set himself up as a wholesale merchant, grocer, and cotton factor. As his fortune grew, Glynn purchased property in West Baton Rouge and Pointe Coupee parishes. After the Civil War, Glynn moved his growing family to the 3,000 acres he had acquired.

Around the turn of the century, the Texas and Pacific Railroad began laying track through his property, and on December 23, 1899, a post office was established. Martin's son, Charles Wilson Glynn, became its first postmaster. The post office, located near the intersection of Louisiana Highway 416 and Louisiana Highway 982, is still in operation [Lockhart, John M. "Roadmap to the Westside", " [http://www.riversidereader.com The Riverside Reader] ", January 21, 2008, p. 5] .
