From an 1832 River-Bend Settlement to a 1933 City
Grandville's site, once called Oakestown, was settled in 1832 at a bend in the Grand River that logging crews depended on, and was established as Grandville in 1833. Growth followed an 1872 rail depot, a village organization in 1887, and city incorporation in 1933.
