Homes for Sale in Granger, Indiana

Granger is situated right on the Indiana-Michigan border. Settlers first arrived in the area in the early 19th century. In 1870, a priest founded Saint Joseph's Farm in Granger where the Holy Cross Brothers and Sisters and Priests served the needs of the people in the rural farming community. They also provided fresh food for the nearby University of Notre Dame. This tradition of neighbors helping neighbors continues today, and farms in the area still provide food for the residents; many offer produce and homemade items at Granger Farmers Market and other stores.
