The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗A post office called Granada has been in operation since 1873. The community most likely takes its name from nearby Granada Creek.
During World War II, the Granada War Relocation Center (known to internees as Camp Amache) was located west of Granada as a Japanese American internment camp. It opened in August 1942 and housed a maximum population of 7,318 citizens.
