History
In 1907, Dr. Edwin Granger purchased land in what is now known as "Grangerland" with the intention of starting a community in the area.[http://www.emchs.org/cities/grangerland Grangerland...One Man's Dream] East Montgomery Historical Society.
Accessed on June 17, 2017. Dr. Granger and his fellow settlers made their living by farming cotton, selling limited lumber, and cutting railroad ties.
In 1931, during the Texas oil boom, oil was discovered in the area. To accommodate the influx of oil workers, Don D. Granger, Dr. Edwin Granger's son, built a group of houses called, "Granger's Camp." As the area continued to expand in the 1940s and 1950s, the area surrounding the camp became known as "Grangerland."
