James Nettle Glover (March 15, 1838 – November 18, 1921) was a politician, banker and the founder (as well as its second mayor) of the city of Spokane. In 1871, two squatters, James Downing and Seth Scranton, had built a sawmill at the south bank of the Spokane Falls on the Spokane River. Glover and his partner, Jasper N. Matheny, coming from Oregon, recognized the investment potential and bought the claim of 160 acres (0.65 km) and the sawmill from Downing and Scranton. Later, Glover became one of Spokane's first bankers and mayor.
