In the Spring of 1882 Grant Township became a settlement. Most of the settlement at this time was of the German heritage and German was widely spoken.

Two schoolhouses were built in 1882 and by 1906 there were a total of 9 in the township.

A Church, Trinity Lutheran was organized in 1870 and a church built in 1889, this being on the NW corner of Section 36, this was a faithful church until 1969 when a tornado came through and did so much damage that the church closed. The church cemetery is still maintained and burials still take place in this peaceful cemetery.

One of the schoolhouses which was built in 1884 was moved to Moorehead Park in Ida Grove in 1979 and each fall teachers hold Old Fashioned School for fourth graders in the county.
