Glen Rock is named for a 570-ton boulder, believed to have been deposited by a glacier, that stands at the northern end of Rock Road, the town's main street. Called Pamackapuka, or Stone from Heaven, by the Delaware Indians, it served as a base for Indian signal fires and later as a trail marker for colonists. In 1921 a bronze plaque was installed on the rock in memory of residents who died in WWI, and it was declared a landmark by the State Office of Historic Sites in 1964.
