The history of Grant began in 1882, when Andrew J. Squier built the first sawmill. Soon afterward, a railroad station was built on the Chicago and Western Michigan Railroad. Squier named the station Grant Station after President and Civil War general Ulysses S. Grant. The community was also called Grant Center because of its location within the township. On May 14, 1892, a post office was established under the name Grant Station. Grant Center was incorporated in 1893 as the village of Grant. The post office name was shortened to Grant in 1899.
