About Glendale, Arizona

Glendale is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. In the late 1800s the area that is now Glendale was all desert. Glendale was temporarily renamed as Swift City on March 17 and 18, 2023, as per the mayor and the city council's proclamation, to celebrate the opening concerts of the Eras Tour, the sixth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, at State Farm Stadium.

On-campus criminal offenses reported under the Clery Act, 2022–2024, across 1 campus (3,738 students). Counts reflect reports, not convictions — schools with strong reporting cultures often show more, so a higher count doesn't simply mean a more dangerous campus.
