Grangerland is an unincorporated community and census designated place (CDP) in east central Montgomery County, Texas, United States. Grangerland is located at the intersection of F.M. 3083 and F.M. 2090, approximately 30 miles north of Houston and 10 miles southeast of Conroe.
In 1907, Dr. Edwin Granger purchased land in what is now known as "Grangerland" with the intention of starting a community in the area.[1] Dr. Granger and his fellow settlers made their living by farming cotton, selling limited lumber, and cutting railroad ties.[1]
In 1931, during the Texas oil boom, oil was discovered in the area. To accommodate the influx of oil workers, Don D. Granger, Dr. Edwin Granger's son, built a group of houses called, "Granger's Camp."[1] As the area continued to expand in the 1940s and 1950s, the area surrounding the camp became known as "Grangerland."
As an unincorporated community, local administrative responsibilities are managed by Montgomery County, Precinct 4. As of June 2023, the commissioner for Precinct 4 is Matt Gray.[2] Caney Creek Fire and Rescue operates a fire station within the community.[3]
In the Texas State Senate, Grangerland is in District 4, represented by Republican Brandon Creighton. In the Texas House of Representatives, Grangerland is in District 3, represented by Republican Cecil Bell, Jr.[4]
In the United States Senate, the entire state of Texas is represented by Republicans John Cornyn and Ted Cruz. In the United States House of Representatives, Grangerland is in District 8, represented by Republican Morgan Luttrell.[4]
Grangerland students attend schools in the Conroe Independent School District.[5]
Residents of Conroe ISD (and therefore Grangerland) are served by the Lone Star College System (formerly North Harris Montgomery Community College).[6]
