Granada, one of the hamlets of Nemaha county, is located in Granada township 17 miles southeast of Seneca, the county seat, and 8 miles north of Wetmore, from which place it receives its mail. It is one of the oldest settled places in the county, the first person to locate in the vicinity having been D. M. Locknane in 1855. Other early settlers were: Messrs. Chappel, Pilant, Haigh, Searles, Vilott, Spencer, Anderson, Terrill, Wright, Letson, Knapp, Nevil, Swerdferger, O'Brien, Riley, Duwalt, Brown and Steer. A store was built in 1856 and Granada became a station on the old overland route to Denver. It had one of the first wells in Kansas, and at the time of the Civil war was a thrifty little town. With the advent of railroads to both north and south it lost its prestige. The census of 1910 records it as having 47 inhabitants.
