History

Formed in 1873 from Ford County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Grant County was created on March 20, 1873, from Ford County but was not fully organized and remained attached to Ford for judicial purposes. On February 22, 1883, Grant County lost all its territory to Hamilton and the newly created Finney County and was eliminated. Grant County was re-created on March 23, 1887, from Finney and Hamilton counties with the same boundaries as the original county, and became fully organized in 1888.
