Situated in Greer County, at the southern base of Headquarters Mountain, the small town of Granite is known for its monument industry, farming, ranching, and the Oklahoma State Reformatory. The area was home to cattlemen in the 1880s, and the town's first post office was established in 1889, named for the granite found in the nearby mountains.
