History in
a Pecan Shell
The Granjeño Cemetery
dates from 1872 and is the only witness to Granjeño’s early years.
In the 1930s there were a cluster of residences, although the proximity
to McAllen quashed
any hopes of growth (had there been any). In the late 1940s there
was a church here as well as a school. A colonia developed at the
site in the 1960s, providing new residents to bring the population
up to 545 by the mid 1970s, decreasing to 450 by the mid 1980s and
declining to just 293 for the 2010 census. |
