Granada
Farming is still an important part of the community; alfalfa, corn and wheat are the major crops planted today. We no longer see melons, onions or peppers planted here.
The Granada School system and Prowers County employee the greatest number of people in the community today. In 1990, an area history teacher, John Hopper, worked diligently to preserve the life stories of all those who were held at the ‘Camp Amache’, Japanese Internment Camp during WW II. He started recruiting his high school students for help and the Amache Preservation Society was created. Every year that passed, items were donated to the project and the Society put together the Amache museum. The APS has since moved into a new and bigger building to house their massive artifacts collection provided by the internees who lived at the camp or from families of the internees.
