1822, from part of the so-called “New Purchase” lands that had been obtained by the Treaty of St. Mary’s; the Lenape had previously occupied the area. It is named for Francis Marion, a Brigadier General from South Carolina in the American Revolutionary War. The state capital was moved to Indianapolis in Marion County from Corydon on January 10, 1825. This began a period of rapid growth in population.

It was named for Captains Samuel and Moses Grant of Kentucky. The above-named book does state that Grant County, Indiana is named for Samuel and Moses Grant of Kentucky, killed in battle with the Indians. HOWEVER, the next entry states that Grant County, Kentucky, according to John McGee was named for Col. John Grant, an early settler, but according to J. Worthing McCann, the county was named for Samuel Grant. Samuel and his brother Moses were killed by Indians just north of the Ohio River. Their home was in Kentucky and their home county was named in memory of them - Grant
County, Kentucky. 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 the Miami Indians called Mississinewa -�laughing Waters.� Thus Grant County was formed with Marion as the County Seat.
