TOWN OF GRANTSVILLE, YEAR OF OUR LORD 2017 - High Sky Photos By Quentin Murphy (04/02/2024) The Town of Grantsville, the county seat of Calhoun, has faded from its former glory with a population of about 1,200 in 1940 to less than 600 people today, a once thriving business community is gone, the route of many Appalachian towns, although in comparison Grantsville still looks pretty good.
