History
Officially founded in 1896, Granite City (fka Kinder (hook) was named by the Niedringhaus brothers, who established it as a steel-making company town for the manufacture of their kitchen utensils made to resemble granite. And just like that, the birth of a steel town was born. The Granite City Steel Mill plant was erected and today it is part of US Steel. In 1959, as the city industry and population grew, it was awarded the distinguished honor of being selected as an "All-American City". There is a fascinating array of stories about people from all walks of life who came from all over the world that saw Granite City as their opportunity to achieve their eternal goal: the American Dream!
