Granum is a town on Secondary Highway 519, approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Lethbridge. It was originally known as Leavings, as the point on the Calgary-Fort Benton Trail that left the banks of the Willow Creek. Its location in a fertile wheat-growing district prompted future provincial treasurer Malcolm McKenzie, who represented the are in the Legislature at the time, to suggest a new name: Granum, the Latin word for “grain”. The Leavings post office was renamed Granum in 1907. Granum became a village in 1908 and a town in 1910.
