The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The town was laid out and surveyed by Henry Hill in September 1874. Its name pays homage to the Grange Movement, popular in rural America at that time. Granger was incorporated by petition to the Scotland county court on July 3, 1912. Adjacent to the Burlington Northern Railroad, Granger's business district at the time of incorporation included three general stores, two hotels, a bank, drug store, hardware store, grocer, meat market barber shop, livery, and blacksmith. Although no official census was taken of the community in 1910, contemporary estimates place the population at between 150 and 200 residents.

Nothing in Granger is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Granger has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Downing House in Memphis, 10.4 miles away.
