The first meeting of a proposed “Grandview Heights-Marble Cliff Historical Society” was on March 26, 1974, in the Grandview Heights Public Library. Today, the society is still active in discovering, collecting, and preserving information, materials, structures, and landmarks which may help to establish interest in the historical record of the founding and development of the communities of Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff.
Grandview began as a modest farming community called Anderson District named in honor of John Anderson, the owner of the only general store in the area. In 1912, Grandview became a railroad terminal for Kansas City Southern. Grandview became a proud military town when the United States Air Force leased Grandview Air Force Base, later renamed Richards-Gebaur AFB.
