GRANGE CITY, a town in Columbia County. During the Granger movement of 1875, Colonel George Hunter canvassed among the Grangers, and with the money raised he built a warehouse in the spring of 1876. From this arose the name of Grange City. (Illustrated History of Southeastern Washington, pages 376-377.)
