Glen Hazel was developed by the Federal Works Agency during World War II as a government housing project for defense workers called Glen Hazel Heights. The 1,000-unit development was built in 1941–1942 and was one of the largest defense housing projects in the country. The defense housing was razed in the 1970s and replaced with a new 104-unit public housing project and a 155-unit senior living facility.
