Brief history of Grant County:
Grant County, West Virginia is located along the western edge of the state's Eastern Panhandle. Created out of the conflict known as the Civil War. The county bears the name of one of the war's illustrious warriors, Ulysses Simpson Grant, who later became the 18th president of the United States. Grant County came into being on February 14, 1866, after separating from Hardy Co.
