About Grenola

Set in the quiet countryside of Elk County, Grenola has a unique backstory. It was founded in 1879 when two neighboring towns, Greenfield and Canola, joined forces and combined their names to share a stop along the new railroad. Today, this peaceful small town offers plenty of open space, scenic views, and a strong sense of community. Reminders of its heritage are scattered throughout town, including a restored stone gazebo in the park and a local museum, with kids attending the nearby Central school district.
