Grant County is located in the southwestern region of the great state of Kansas. It was officially established on March 20, 1888, and named after Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. The county's area comprises 575 square miles (1,489.38 square kilometers).

Before the arrival of European settlers, the land that would become Grant County was home to various indigenous tribes, including the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, and Plains Apache. In the latter part of the 19th century, settlers from the Eastern United States moved into the area, attracted by the fertile soil and opportunities for agriculture. Ranching also became a significant part of the county's economy.

Grant County's largest city and the county seat is Ulysses, which was named after the county's namesake, Ulysses S. Grant. The city has a unique history of its own in order to avoid bankruptcy during the Great Depression, Ulysses citizens decided to move the entire town to a new location in 1909. They placed buildings on skids or rollers and uniquely relocated the whole town, eventually merging with another town called New Ulysses.

As a fun fact, Grant County is home to the Shockey Buffalo Kill Site, an archaeological site that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The site offers evidence of an ancient buffalo hunting technique used by the indigenous people called "buffalo jumps," wherein hunters stampeded buffalo over cliffs or into enclosures, making it easier to harvest meat and hides. This site provides insights into the way of life and hunting practices of indigenous tribes that inhabited the area thousands of years ago.
