The name is Scottish in origin – "glen" (gleann) is a Scottish term for a valley between hills, and "dale", also usually meaning a valley.
Relative to other areas in Greater Newcastle, Glendale is well serviced by public transport and is adjacent to, but not directly connected to, the Cardiff industrial estate, which is the largest industrial estate in the Lower Hunter region. The railway line presently separates the industrial estate from Glendale. The suburb is home to the proposed Lake Macquarie Transport Interchange, which is partly currently under construction.[2]
The Aboriginal people, in this area, the Awabakal, were the first people of this land.[3]
The commercial area of Glendale is situated along Lake Road and Main Road featuring fast food outlets, petrol stations, and numerous shops. Stockland Glendale is a shopping centre just off Lake Road.
