Granville's Welsh connection began in the 1860s when Welsh miners from Blaenau Ffestiniog and Bethesda found their way into the area; many leaving their wives and families behind to send for them later. From then on, steady streams of Welsh immigrants settled the area and Granville gradually grew into a prominent Welsh American community. The ethnic enclave reached its peak in 1910 when of the town's 3,920 residents, 949 were Welsh born and another 847 were American born to Welsh parents, combined accounting for 45.8% of the town's population. [6] Welsh placenames and chapels still exist e.g. "Brynhyfryd" and Peniel Chapel. The Welsh folk song "Molianwn" originated there and refers to the closing down of the quarries over the cold winter period.
