Old Glory was originally New Brandenburg before World War I. Although the area developed in the late 1880s, it was G. R. Spielhagen who laid out the townsite in 1903 and named it Brandenburg with only a schoolhouse and a general store built. When the Stamford and Northwestern Railway Company chartered a railroad from Stamford to Spur in 1909, it was the Swenson Land and Cattle Company that provided a townsite two miles northwest of the Brandenburg settlement. Hence, the Old Brandenburg died out and the new town was referred to as the New Brandenburg. The name was officially changed on August 9, 1918, due to a rise in anti-German sentiment after the First World War outbreak. Although it became an unincorporated community, it still reached a population of 89 in 2010 and has a post office with the zip code of 79540.
