Located in Licking County, Ohio, the historic town of Granville’s population is an estimated 5,646 people. The Village of Granville is in a rural region with rolling hills in central Ohio; the village is about 35 miles east of Columbus, and seven miles west of Licking County’s seat, which is the City of Newark.

On top of being the home of Denison University, Granville is rich with history both recent and ancient. Granville is the home to several historic buildings, including numerous Greek Revival structures, historic landmarks, and the prehistoric Alligator Effigy Mound, which was constructed around a thousand years ago by the indigenous people of the Fort Ancient culture, hundreds of years before Europeans came to North America. Many historians suspect the mound might be an effigy of the Native American mythological underwater panther. In addition to the historic mound, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the area is rich in sites left by the indigenous cultures of the region. A few miles from the revered Alligator Effigy Mound one can visit the awe-inspiring Newark Earthworks, which is linked to the even earlier Hopewell Indian culture of up to more than 2,000 years ago.

Europeans did not settle Granville until around 1805 when it’s first large group of such settlers came from Granville, Mass., which is how the town got its name, in remembrance of those settlers’ former home.

In 1797, the land was first surveyed by the U.S. and established by government officials to be awarded in grants to veterans who fought in the Revolutionary War.
