Granville is a town in Addison County, of the Middlebury-Vergennes region, founded in August 1781.
The town was originally called Kingston after the King family, the original settlers of the town, but it was renamed by the legislature in 1834. Some of the earliest Vermont records for the town of Granville show its name spelled Grantville, which could mean that the town was granted by the Vermont legislature.
Granville was one of thirteen Vermont towns isolated by flooding caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011.
