Do you know of Grantland ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Grantland. 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 Grantland.<1>

Our sources for Grantland (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 Grantland other than they indicate that Grantland would be found somewhere in Henrico County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1886 and closed  in 1905.
