Glen Allen or Glenallen?

The legal name of the settlement is "Glen Allen". However, the U.S. Post Office there is "Glenallen", which was also the spelling of the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern Railway company station there. Locals uniformly refer to this location as "Glen Allen", as does the U.S. Census Bureau.[7] The United States Geological Survey (USGS) refers to this community with both names,[8] as does the State of Missouri.
