Glenary District is named after the Glenary station, a large run of 100,000 acres. It is part of the electoral district of Wakatipu, and is in the Waikaia riding of the county of Southland, on the western bank of the Waikaia river. Glenary is also to the west of the township of Waikaia, and had a population of fifty at the census of 1901. Sheepfarming and sawmilling are carried on in the valley, and there is a local post office. Glenary lies prettily between snowcapped hills.
