History
The Village of Granville, incorporated in 1885, traces its roots to Bishops Corners, a pioneer settlement begun here in 1780 by John Champion Bishop, his wife Abigail Reynolds, and their children. The Bishops purchased 2,000 acres within the present-day bounds of the village, and at these corners they built their home and trading post. Within two decades, they had established an ashery, an iron foundry, and a grist mill, and helped found Granville’s Friends Society. By 1798, The Corners numbered 400 residents.
