- 2000–2026The dance schools of the corridor
The Conservatory of Dance stands at 14678 State Road 23, in the corridor's retail row, and its corporate record is the strongest paper any Granger arts body carries: a federal exempt-organization record for the Conservatory of Dance Company Inc, of that address, runs from April 2000, and the present Conservatory of Dance Inc…
- 2000–2026Black and Latino Culture

- 2001–2026As others saw it: the rankings, and the cigarette train
In August 2001 the South Bend Tribune reported, and the wire of rail-fan boards carried nationwide, the story of the Canadian National engineers who stopped their freight across State Road 23 — "in downtown Granger," the story said — to buy cigarettes and Burger King, backing up traffic while the cashier rang up two cartons of Marlboros.
- 2002–2026The festival the county founded and lost, and the university film record — both
No film festival is seated in Granger, and the festival a Granger reader means belongs to the county's story: the River Bend Film Festival was founded in 2002 in South Bend by a group of filmmakers and enthusiasts, ran fourteen years there, and in 2016 relocated to Goshen, where its first season broke all previous…
- 2003–2026The trustees as persons: Clay Township's short documented line — Thomas, Dobson, and the holders the record has not named

- 2004–2026Departments and firsts in the founding decades — and the county-wide turn that never happened here

- 2004–2026The directors and librarians: the succession from 2007, and the gaps behind and beside it
Susie Cleaver held the office as interim director from 1 March to 31 December 2015 — the same Susie Cleaver the banked Arts file names as a Harris Branch reference librarian in the 2004 dedication coverage, and the two appearances are printed here as they stand, a name twice in the record eleven years apart, with no…
- 2004–todayThe HOA era: covenants, associations, and the names residents use

- 2005–2024The survey era: the ACS course and the 2020–2024 profile whole
The first five-year release to reach CDP geography covered 2005–2009; the current one as this section is built covers 2020–2024, and it is carried here whole.
- 2005–2026The disaster set at building granularity: the fires this ground actually has
The house fires: The working set beneath the clubhouse is residential, and its best-documented member is a vacant house: on 19 May 2005 a fire in the 10500 block of Adams Road in Harris Township ran from the basement through to the attic of an empty house, drawn in mutual aid from Cleveland Township, Penn Township…
- 2006–2019The western fringe: Bradford Shores and Farmington Hills, outside the line
Knollwood's newest phase of its first era stands outside the CDP: Bradford Shores at Knollwood, on Clay Township ground at the community's western edge, was platted in the instrument the county file dates 2 November 2006, and the Tribune introduced it in 2007…
- 2006–todayFailures and departures: the ledger at the same strength

- 2007–2026The Salvation Army and the Red Cross: the Kroc Center at the boundary, its gift source named — and no Granger drive or chapter seat on this ground
South Bend was one of only ten Midwestern cities to pre-qualify (December 2004) and the only one in Indiana; on 13 March 2007 the city announced a $40 million Kroc grant for the South Bend center — $5 million more than first allocated…
- 2008–2015Women inventors, in their own right — the record holds four lines

- 2009Gospel City Church: the Harvest plant of 2009
One of the ground's congregations has already lived under two names: in February 2009 a new church was planted at 52277 Hickory Road as Harvest Bible Chapel Granger, out of the Harvest Bible Fellowship church-planting network — the network gathered around James MacDonald's Harvest Bible Chapel in the Chicago suburbs…
- 2009–2010Student honors: a ten-year-old of St. Pius X parish carries the ground's second national stage
