 Granite
was first settled on July 4, 1862. It was then only natural the
settlers would name the town “Independence.” Not so said
the postal authorities for there was already a town by that name
in Oregon. The next choice was “Granite” for the prevailing
rock in the region. The buildings are vacant and most in a stage
of near collapse. There is a road through the town leading to small
private claims.
