"Granger" is a common American place name, and bank cases attach to it in other states. Those cases are printed here at boundary size — named, dated, and sourced — precisely so they are not mistaken for this ground's record, and so the word "Granger" in a robbery headline is never again read as this Granger without the state being checked.
The fullest case is Granger, Minnesota. The Cresco Times Plain Dealer's survey of local bank robberies through the years — written for Howard County, Iowa, whose seat sits near the state line — records that although Granger is technically in Minnesota, most locals consider it part of the county, and it carries the Granger State Bank robbery whole. On 12 June 1985, at about 10:30 in the morning, a man pointed a sawed-off shotgun at tellers Nancy Martin and Laura Bock and demanded money. He fled in a white 1976 Mercury Capri reportedly stolen the day before in Brownsville, Minnesota. The car was pulled from a ditch at Jessup, Iowa, about 6 p.m.; the suspect was spotted at Stanwood, Iowa, about 9 p.m.; and the Iowa State Patrol took him when he returned from dinner. He was Everett Allen "Big Foot" Johnson, 41, raised in the Hokah, Whalan, and Highland areas of Houston and Fillmore Counties. That is a complete bank-robbery record — date, hour, tellers, weapon, flight, capture — attached to the name Granger, and not one fact of it touches Indiana.
The same survey carries an older Granger appearance of the opposite kind: in the 21 August 1931 robbery of the First National Bank of Lime Springs, Iowa, by a lone gunman, the trail led "as far as Granger" — the robber bought gas and oil in Granger with two one-dollar bills whose serial numbers matched the stolen money — and he was never seen again. Granger, Texas, supplies the third name: its Farmers State Bank building, erected 1908–09 for the second banking institution founded in that Granger, closed in 1926 and became the city hall in 1929; Texas Historical Marker No. 9100 records the building and the bank, and no robbery appears in the marker text. None of these is evidence about Clay or Harris Township. They are the boundary the count stands inside: every bank case the name Granger carries in the record belongs to Minnesota, Iowa, or Texas, and the Indiana CDP's own count stays at zero.
