The \u003ca title=\"Read the Grants Route 66 guide\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theroute-66.com\/grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eGrants Route 66 guide\u003c\/a\u003e says the Atlantic \u0026amp; Pacific Railroad reached the area in the early 1880s, and three Canadian contractor brothers named Grant set up \"Grants Camp\" at a halfway point between Gallup and Albuquerque. The post office opened in 1882 as Grant and became Grants in 1935.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLogging came first. After the Bluewater Dam went up in 1927, irrigation helped Grants earn the nickname \"Carrot Capital\" of the U.S., and Route 66 was aligned through town in 1926. Then, per Grokipedia, Navajo shepherd Paddy Martinez found yellow rock near Haystack Mesa, about 10 miles west of town, in 1950. It was identified as carnotite, a uranium and vanadium ore. The Grants district went on to produce more than 340 million pounds of uranium oxide between 1951 and 1980, which Grokipedia puts at nearly 40% of U.S. output at its peak. The town billed itself as the \"Uranium Capital of the World,\" and the slogan on this tee stretches that title to the whole planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe boom ended in the 1980s, and Grokipedia says uranium extraction had effectively halted by the early 1990s, leaving legacy environmental concerns at ore-processing tailings sites.
