Named in honor of President U.S. Grant, the county
was created in 1873 during Grant's first term. The first known settlers were Mireau and Roberts in 1865, fur traders and farmers who settled near the present Big Stone Lake.
    
The first post office was established in Inkpa City and was later combined with Geneva and Big Stone City to form present Big Stone City. A Big Stone City landmark is Chautauqua Park, an early day meeting place and resort. Between Albee and Revillo is the Old River Crossing, a place where the wagon trail crossed the Yellowbank River.
