What is a Grant?
In New Hampshire, a "grant" is an area that isn't part of any regular town. It's an unincorporated part of a county. These areas have very little or no local government, especially if no one lives there.
History of the Grant
This area got its name from two people: Clovis Lowe and Barker Burbank. They bought this land from the state back in 1832.
