The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 54 to 51 (-6%). Half of its homes were built before 1958.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Graham yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Graham is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Graham has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Barbeau House in Lenora, 12.6 miles away.
