Granville is a former town in Wayne Township, Tippecanoe County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
Thomas W. Treckett and Thomas Concannon founded the town in 1834 on the south side of the Wabash and Erie Canal, just south of the Wabash River near the former site of the Native American settlement of Ouiatenon.
They platted the town to contain 153 lots, a public square and several streets, with such names as Lafayette, Cherry, Wabash and Washington.
[2] In 1850 the town's name was changed to Weaton, after the local Wea Indians (some maps incorrectly labeled it as "Wheaton").
The town flourished as a shipping center on the canal until the mid-1850s, when railroad competition drew off much of the business.
