The name came from the French traders who arrived before 1800. By 1823 pioneer families were settling on the abundant farmland and Grand Blanc Township became, in 1833, Genesee County's first unit of government. The railroad, which came in 1862, added more growth to the small community. The Village of Grand Blanc was the first in the state to consolidate its schools in 1904.A four-square-mile area in the center of the township was incorporated in 1930 as the City of Grand Blanc. Today the two units of government work cooperatively to provide services for the entire community. Grand Blanc residents enjoy such benefits as recreation activities, senior citizen services, McFarlen Public Library, Heritage Museum, and a highly rated school system.Also available are medical centers, restaurants, and shopping. Grand Blanc is the home of the world headquarters for General Motors Service Parts Operations and the award-winning Genesys Regional Medical Center. Grand Blanc is said to be "Planned, Progressive, and Prestigious."
