The History of Grenola

Grenola was formed in 1879 when the two communities of Greenfield and Canola relocated along the new railroad line. The community for a time was a rowdy cowtown, being a major shipping point for the cattle driven north from Oklahoma and Texas. Later—in the early 1900s—the discovery of oil and gas in the area made Grenola a bustling business place. By 1920, the population had risen to 1,500.
