Taken from the book: "Goodspeed's History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford & Gasconade Counties Missouri"

History of Missouri chapters, page 186 giving, "Dates of the organization of the counties, origin of their names, etc."

Grundy {county name}--Organized January 2, 1841. Name for Hon. Felix Grundy of Tennessee, attorney-general of the United States from 1838 to 1840, etc. The county seat was located at Trenton in 1843.

NOTE: This book was originally published in 1888. My reprint is from 1970. Information given here was from the original time period so county seats may have changed.
