history
Granby was founded on October 10, 1761 with an area of 36,000 acres (about 93 km²) as one of the New Hampshire Grants by Benning Wentworth . He named the town after John Manners, Marquess of Granby . Settlement started around 1800, the town organized around 1810. In the year without the summer of 1816, the population shrank to three families and the town lost its status of an organized town due to the few inhabitants. She reached this again in December 1821.
By 1890 the population increased to almost 400 people. The Hamlet Seven Mills a stop on the Stanstead, Shefford and Chambly Railroad , was developed by the CHStevens Company, which operated a sawmill there. At peak times, this sawmill employed more than 100 men who worked as loggers or sawmill workers. After the sawmill had to close, the population also fell, until only 52 people lived in the town in 1960. Today 88 people live there.
In 1963, Victory and Granby with their 101 residents were the last two towns to be connected to the public electricity network in Vermont.
