History
Grit is an unincorporated farming and ranching community established ca.1889 in Mason County, in the U.S. state of Texas. The initial settlers considered naming the community after Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Frederick Funston, but a Funston, Texas already existed in Jones County and there was concern of postal delivery confusion. Grit was still populated as of the year 2000.
