Grantville is a
fictional town in
Wetzel County,
West Virginia that appears in
Eric Flint's
1632 series. The American town - including land, people, resources and all - was transported back in time from the year 2000 to the middle of 17th-century Europe in central
Germany by irresponsible aliens. Grantville was modeled after the real town of
Hundred, West Virginia. (e.g. High School is two miles away from the city. U.S. Route 250 ran parallel to the small river, and is right in front of the high school. Fairmont some fifteen miles to the east. All this in the beginning of chapter 2)
