The Grange movement in the United States was a farmers' movement involving the affiliation of local farmers into area "granges" to work for their political and economic advantages. The official name of the National Grange is the Patrons of Husbandry. Today some consider the organization a special interest group. Founded after the Civil War, it flourished until the end of the 19th century. Many small rural communities in New England, the Midwest and West still have an old "Grange Hall" standing on Main Street. The word "grange" comes from a Latin word for grain, and is related to a "granary" or, more generically, a farm.
In 2005, the Grange claims a membership of 300,000 with organizations in 3,600 communities in 37 states. They occupy a headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C., an 11-story building they had built in 1960.
