The Grange refers to the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, a national organization of farm owners formed after the Civil War.
A grange was originally an area of land in Ireland and other parts of the British Isles some miles away from an urban-based monastery where in mediæval times food was grown for the monastery. Though initially just a description of the area of land used for food production, the word 'Grange' often evolved into the name of the townland or parish, replacing an earlier name. Most Irish counties have a place called 'Grange'; some have a number.
