It was important to have people there to make sure the logs did not jam up as the river turned north-west toward Grand Haven.

Grandville was founded in 1833 and incorporated as a city in 1933.<ref>{{cite web|last=City of Grandville|url=https://www.cityofgrandville.com/our_community/community_profile.php|title=Grandville: Community Profile|date=2021|accessdate=October 3, 2021}}</ref>
