&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Grant County was formed in 1831 by settlers from Kentucky and Virginia. It was named after Captains Samuel and Moses Grant of [[Kentucky]], who were killed fighting indigenous warriors north of the Ohio River.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9V1IAAAAMAAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA141|title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States| publisher=Govt. Print. Off.|author=Gannett, Henry|year=1905|pages=14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Their home county was also named after them, [[Grant County, Kentucky]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1831, Martin Boots and David Branson each donated 30 acres of land to begin a settlement called Marion. This land was on the north side of a fast-flowing and scenic river which the [[Miami Indians]] called &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Mississinewa River|Mississinewa]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Marion was designated as the County Seat.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://grantcounty.com/about-gc/history/ Grant County History, Grant County website]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; As the county was developed for agriculture, the County Seat became a center of trade and business, as well as government and the court system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 7, 1930, a mob of an estimated 5,000 people took three African-American men, [[Lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith|Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith]], both 19, and [[James Cameron (activist)|James Cameron]], 16, from the county jail. They were suspects in a robbery/murder and rape. The first two were hanged from trees in the courthouse square. Cameron was spared and later became a civil rights activist. This was the last lynching in Indiana.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.thenation.com/article/anatomy-murder/ David Bradley, &amp;quot;Anatomy of a Murder&amp;quot;], &amp;#039;&amp;#039;The Nation&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, May 24, 2006; accessed June 1, 2018.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In 1982, Stephen Johnson was elected as Grant County&amp;#039;s first full-time prosecutor. He served for five terms, from 1983 through 2002.&lt;br /&gt;
