Do you know of Grant Isle ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Grant Isle. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Grant Isle.<1>

Our sources for Grant Isle (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Grant Isle other than they indicate that Grant Isle would be found somewhere in Aroostook County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1859 and closed  in 1907.
