The Story of Grapeview
Grapeview has an interesting past. From the 1870s to the 1920s, people in Grapeview and other nearby communities used steamboats to travel. These boats were very important for getting around the Case Inlet area. Before roads were common, steamboats were the main way to transport people and goods. Grapeview was even known by a different name back then: Detroit.
