A Look Back: Grant City's History

Grant City was officially planned and mapped out in October 1868. This process is called platting, which means creating a map that shows how the land is divided into lots and streets.

The community was named after a very famous American, Ulysses S. Grant. At the time, he was well-known as the top general leading the United States Army. Later, he became the 18th President of the United States. For a while, Grant City even had its own post office! It was called Snyder and served the community from 1888 until 1901.
