From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

GRANT Township, organized in May 1858, was then named Greenfield by Socrates Nelson for his former home in Massachusetts, but because that name had been previously given to another Minnesota township, it was renamed in 1864 in honor of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, whose biography is presented in the chapter of Grant County. The city of Grant incorporated in 1996, and the township ceased to exist.
