Granville’s first Independence Day celebration was in 1806, the first July 4th following the arrival of the settlers from Massachusetts and Connecticut. The first known community Fourth of July celebration that vaguely resembled the big festival held today was in 1892, the highlight of which was the “pyrotechnics” display in the evening. The Kiwanis Club of Granville has been sponsoring the Granville 4th of July Celebration and parade since 1964.
