As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 18,579,〔〔〔 reflecting a decline of 489 (-2.6%) from the 19,068 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 3,454 (+22.1%) over the 15,614 counted in the 1990 Census.〔(Table 7. Population for the Counties and Municipalities in New Jersey: 1990, 2000 and 2010 ), New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, February 2011. Accessed July 12, 2012.〕 What is now Glassboro was originally formed as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 11, 1878, from portions of Clayton Township. Portions of the township were taken to form Elk Township (April 17, 1891) and Pitman (May 24, 1905). Glassboro was incorporated as a borough on March 18, 1920, replacing Glassboro Township.〔Snyder, John P. (''The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968'' ), Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 139. Accessed July 12, 2012.〕 The borough was named for its glass industry.〔Hutchinson, Viola L. (''The Origin of New Jersey Place Names'' ), New Jersey Public Library Commission, May 1945. Accessed August 31, 2015.〕〔Gannett, Henry. (''The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States'' ), p. 138. United States Government Printing Office, 1905.

Accessed August 31, 2015.〕 Glassboro is home to Rowan University, founded in 1923 and formerly known as Glassboro State College, which was the site of the Glassboro Summit Conference in 1967 between U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin.〔Bitman, Terry. ("New chapter for Hollybush Restoration advances at Glassboro residence where LBJ met Kosygin." ), ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', May 14, 2003. Accessed July 21, 2015.〕〔(From Normal to Extraordinary: The History of Rowan University ), Rowan University. Accessed July 21, 2015. "Rowan University has evolved from its humble beginning in 1923 as a normal school, with a mission to train teachers for South Jersey classrooms, to a comprehensive university with a strong regional reputation.... The University received worldwide attention when it hosted a historic summit conference between President Lyndon Johnson and Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin in Hollybush."〕 ==History== Glassboro's early history was built on the manufacturing of glass. The town was first established in 1779 by Solomon Stanger as "Glass Works in the Woods"; glass manufacturers over the years since include Heston-Carpenter Glass Works, Olive Glass Works, Harmony Glass Works, Temperanceville Glass Works, Whitney Brothers Glass Works, Owens Bottle Company, Owens Illinois Glass Company, and Anchor Hocking.〔(Borough of Glassboro: ''History - The Past'' ). Accessed August 1, 2010.〕 The Glassboro Summit Conference between U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin took place in Glassboro. Johnson and Kosygin met for three days from June 23 to June 25, 1967, at Glassboro State College (later renamed Rowan University). The location was chosen as a compromise. Kosygin, having agreed to address the United Nations in New York City, wanted to meet in New York. Johnson, wary of encountering protests against the Vietnam War, preferred to meet in Washington, D.C. They agreed on Glassboro because it was equidistant between the two cities.〔Gray, Jerry. ("Panel Approves Changing Name of Glassboro State to Rowan College" ), ''The New York Times'', July 18, 1992. Accessed September 29, 2012. "The Soviet leader was attending a session of the United Nations General Assembly, and the southern New Jersey campus was chosen as the site of the meeting because it was roughly midway between New York City and Washington."〕 The generally amicable atmosphere of the summit was referred to as the "Spirit of Glassboro," although the leaders failed to reach agreement on limiting anti-ballistic missile systems. On June 19, 1986, Ronald Reagan became the first sitting president to speak at a high school graduation when he spoke at the Glassboro High School commencement ceremonies.〔(Remarks at the High School Commencement Exercises in Glassboro, New Jersey June 19, 1986 ), Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
