Grand was the one-time county seat of Ellis County, Oklahoma . First established as ''Ioland'' to be the county seat of "E" County (later Day County ) when the Cheyenne Arapaho reserve was opened, it was moved across the Canadian River and renamed ''Grand''. When Day County was extinguished at statehood, Grand found itself in Ellis County, and was the county seat until August 26, 1908. The post office existed from November 4, 1892, until September 30, 1943. Only the footings of the courthouse and the vault that held the county records remain visible at the site. SOURCES
