Etymology

The word 'grange' originates from the Latin word 'granica,' meaning 'granary,' which referred to a building for storing grain. This term evolved through Old French 'grange' into Middle English. Initially, it was used to describe outbuildings connected to farms where grains were stored and processed. Over time, particularly in colonial America, the term expanded to encompass the larger farmhouse associated with the farming operation. Additionally, during the 19th century, the Grange movement emerged, which was aimed at helping farmers by providing a platform for advocacy, education, and community support.
