Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 105 to 84 (-20%). Half of its homes were built before 1974.

Nothing in Granada is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Granada has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Delaware River Warren Truss Bridge in Powhattan, 8.6 miles away.
