The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Grant Township was formed when the eastern half of the original Mahoning Township was divided in 1868 and named after President Ulysses S. Grant. The township includes the unincorporated communities of Bald Ridge, Decker's Point (previously called Colfax), Doty's Round Top, East Run, Kinter Hill, Nashville, and Rochester Mills (previously called Richmond).
During the 1920s, the countryside of Grant Township was one of the few in Pennsylvania to have a woman, Grace Barr, appointed as a Rural Free Delivery carrier, delivering mail from the Rochester Mills Post Office.

Nothing in Grant is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Grant has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Commodore Historic District in Green, 5.7 miles away.
