The historic district covers the town's central business district. Grant is a small town located in northeast Montgomery County in the southwest quadrant of the state. It was platted in 1858, and it was known as Milford until the early 20th century even though its post office was Grant. There are an unusual number of frame commercial structures, and brick buildings that primarily house automobile-related businesses. Because of this, the district reflects the growing importance of the automobile as a mode of transportation and its impact on Iowa's Main Streets. The period of significance is from 1871 to 1952, and the buildings were constructed during that time frame.(Submitted on March 21, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
