GRYGLA, a city in section 26 of Valley Township, was incorporated as a village on February 7, 1917. It was first settled by Arne Fladeland, who opened his store there in 1898; when a post office was requested that same year, a number of names were proposed. The city, founded in 1902, was named for Frank Grygla, better known as the "Father of the Polish National Alliance," of which he was president for ten years; his father was a count in one of the ancient and noble families of Poland.
