Grawn

Grawn is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Grand Traverse County in the U.S. state of Michigan.[1] At the 2010 census, the population was 946.[2] The community is located within Blair Township.

Grawn was founded in the 1870s as Blackwood after its first settler, James B. Blackwood. The Chicago and West Michigan Railway was built through Blackwood in 1890,[3] and the village was renamed to Grawn Station, after Charles T. Grawn, the former superintendent of Central Michigan Normal School, and later the superintendent of Traverse City Area Public Schools.[4] The same year, the name was shortened to Grawn, and given a post office with William H. Gibbs as the first postmaster.[5] By 1905, potatoes had become the main crop of Grawn.[6]

The community of Grawn was listed as a newly-organized census-designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time.[7]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.63 square miles (1.63 km2), all land.[2]
