Grandville is a city in Kent County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 15,378 at the 2010 census. Grandville is just southwest of the city of Grand Rapids and is part of the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. It was first settled in 1833 and later incorporated as a city in 1933. 

Anishinaabe peoples are indigenous to the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. Grandville was geographically an important place during the logging years in Michigan's history due to its location at the "river-bend" of the Grand River. It was important to have people there to make sure the logs did not jam up as the river turned northwest toward Grand Haven. Grandville was founded in 1833 and incorporated as a city in 1933.

By the 1980s due to the growth of the Grand Rapids metropolitan area following the early 1980s recession in the United States, Grandville began to experience even more growth. In 1987, color measurement and manufacturer X-Rite established its headquarters in the city a year after it went public, soon becoming one of the fastest-growing businesses in Michigan. In the 1990s, the city was being eyed for larger development. In 1990, developers explored the building of a new mall near the intersection of 44th Street and Ivanrest and eventually met with the city for approval. In 1999, construction was completed on RiverTown Crossings, a mall with just over 1.25 million square feet of retail space. In the 2000s, Grandville experienced continued growth following the opening of Rivertown Crossings, including multiple restaurants and strip malls along Rivertown Parkway. It had grown to be one of the city's largest employers. However, by 2007, the beginning of the Great Recession, X-Rite had moved its headquarters nearby to Kentwood.
