From its humble beginnings as Grant's Camp in 1882 to the bustling village it is today, Grants-Milan has undergone incredible transformations. Thanks to the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, this town became a hub for travel and commerce. Cattle, farm products, and timber marked prosperous booms that put Grants-Milan on the map.

But it doesn't stop there. Grants-Milan has seen it all - from the official change of its name to the establishment of Milan by Salvador Milan. The transition from a sheep ranch to a truck farm turned Grants-Milan into the "Carrot Capital of the World" in 1946. This distinction attracted attention from all corners of the globe.

When the carrot boom eventually subsided, Grants-Milan embraced a new chapter with the uranium industry. The 1950 uranium boom became a defining moment for this town. With water, housing, and auxiliary businesses thriving alongside the uranium companies, the expanding village of Milan found its place in history while Grants remained unincorporated.
