Demographics{{expand section|date=June 2015}}{{US Census population|2010= 3850 |estyear=2016 |estimate=4150 |estref=[5] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[6] }} GovernmentIn 2007, the town had a taxable real estate base of $503.37 million.[7] The town charter reflects the reason for incorporation and calls for future development to be consistent with a rural and fishing village lifestyle that preserves the history and natural green spaces of the two communities. Government services are to be kept to a minimum, density kept low and lot sizes kept large.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} HistoryThe community of Grant was originally established in 1925, and it has a history as a fishing village, with agriculture also a part of both communities' histories.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} The community name of Valkaria derives from Valkyrie, a warrior-maiden of Norse mythology.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} A MISTRAM missile tracking system was built by the US Air Force here in the early 1960s.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}} CultureA largely rural town in the south end of the county, the town includes older homes, newer homes on acre-plus lots and the county-owned Habitat Golf Course, a {{convert|6836|yard|adj=on}}, par-72 course near the Valkaria Airport. The town has held the Grant Seafood Festival every year on the last weekend of February since 1966. In 1968, then U.S. Vice-President Hubert Humphrey visited the Seafood Festival while campaigning for his 1968 presidential bid.[8] The proceeds go towards college scholarships for local children, as well as summer break activities for the community's children. The town also has the historic Bensen House. Transportation
