In 1907, Dr. Edwin Granger purchased land in what is now known as "Grangerland" with the intention of starting a community in the area.[2] Dr. Granger and his fellow settlers made their living by farming cotton, selling limited lumber, and cuttingrailroad ties.[1][2]
In 1931, during theTexas 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."[1][2] As the area continued to expand in the 1940s and 1950s, the area surrounding the camp became known as "Grangerland."
