Etymology
In 1916 the New Orleans, Natalbany and Natchez Railway built a line that terminated in the community. The railroad was being used for transporting local timber 28 mi southeast to a large sawmill in Natalbany. A local barn was converted into a cooperative business that housed a general store, blacksmith, two doctors, a pharmacy and a brickyard. The railroad named the community after the barn that was converted into a store. The name of the community is borrowed from the word grange which means 'barn' and is derived from Old French.
