1990s
- 1990–2020The four counts whole: 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020
The CDP's whole enumerated life fits in four numbers: 20,241 people in 1990, 28,284 in 2000, 30,465 in 2010, and 30,337 in 2020 — a rise of 39.7 percent in the place's first counted decade, 7.7 percent in its second, and then a fall of 128 people, four-tenths of one percent, in its third.
- 1990–2024The census line
The designated place has exactly four decennial counts, and the Story of Granger section prints them as the Bureau made them: the Granger CDP was first delineated for the 1990 census, and its series runs — 1990: 20,241.
- 1990–2024Composition in two runs: the foreign-born series, census by census
1990: foreign-born 3.5 percent of the CDP (banked fragment, from the 1990 census).
- 1990–2026A place the census invented in 1990: the frame and the counting rules
The Bureau first delineated Granger as a census-designated place for the 1990 census, and it has redrawn the line's measurements at every census since: the place the 2000 census measured covered 26.22 square miles of land, the 2010 Gazetteer file measures 25.567, and the 2020 Gazetteer file measures 24.692…
- 1991–2026The later wars: Desert Storm to the present, honestly framed

- 1992The shared house and the money: how funding reaches the arts bodies here, source by source
The Community Foundation of St. Joseph County, established 1992, runs the county's arts funding as a system: its ArtsEverywhere Fund, built with the Leighton-Oare Foundation, makes capacity grants to $10,000, matching program grants to $10,000, and major-venture grants to $50,000 a year for three years…
- 1992The pooled vehicle whole: the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County
The Foundation's own record dates its connecting work from 1992: "Since 1992, the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County has been connecting people who care with causes that matter" (commercial directories variously print a 1991 founding; the Foundation's own 1992 governs, and the conflict prints here).
- 1992–2026The community foundation as the pooled vehicle: the county's endowment house, and the Granger-named-fund test run against its public record
The vehicle: The Community Foundation of St. Joseph County Inc., seated at 305 South Michigan Street, South Bend, is the pooled vehicle of the register's pattern: on its own published account, "since 1992, the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County has been connecting people who care with causes that matter"…
- 1992–todayCalvary Christian School: the chapel's school on Fir Road

- 1994–2016The philanthropy turn, measured: one family foundation, folded into a university fund — and the county's pooled vehicles at the boundary

- 1995–todayHorizon Elementary School
Horizon opened in the fall of 1995 on a campus built for two schools at once: the district's own history calls it "a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility" and fixes its founding fact — Horizon shares a thirty-seven-acre campus on Brummitt Road with Discovery Middle School, which was completed the following summer…
- 1996The schools' foundations in succession, and the county's scholarship endowment
It was established in 1996 as an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organisation dedicated to supporting the educational mission of the Penn-Harris-Madison schools — the fifteen schools, seven of them on Granger ground or serving it whole, whose course is this build's Schools section.
- 1996–2025The Buildings' Honors

- 1996–2026The school teams on the ground: Archers, Knights, and Knights

Discovery is the middle school the whole eastern half of Granger funnels through: completed in the summer of 1996 on the Brummitt Road campus it shares with Horizon Elementary, it welcomed its first student body for the 1996-97 school year, and it serves the families of Mary Frank, Horizon, and Northpoint elementary schools…
- 1997–2004The tax fight: the 1997 petition war and the 2001 acceptance that built the branch
The campaign stands, whole, in the banked Arts file's article "The culture fights: the library war and a schoolhouse roof," drawn from the South Bend Tribune's file: the 1997 citizen petition, the counter-petition, the named opponents, the signature margin, and the 2001 acceptance.
- 1997–2026The culture fights: the library war, and a schoolhouse roof

Northpoint opened in August 1998 as the building wave's last and northernmost school, and outgrew itself in three years: the district's own history page records the opening and the immediate sequel…
- 1999–todayThe villa course: maintenance-free plats inside the big plats
The villa was Granger's one dense form: the Tribune's "The family villa" (1999) marks the type's arrival in the record — maintenance-free villa developments marketed to buyers trading a house and a yard for a smaller footprint and an association's services: in Granger, the Villas at Woods Trail (developed by Robert…
- 2010sThe 2000s additions: infill between the ring and the wave
The county file's own instrument dates fix several of them: Wild Wing Plantation in Clay (33 parcels; its paper carries a new-plat instrument of 2 July 1999), Horizons Edge Phase One in Harris (35 parcels; new plat per instrument of 6 January 2000), Gumwood Crossing (18 parcels…
