Granby is a suburban town in Hampshire County, located in the Pioneer Valley roughly 8 miles east of Holyoke and 90 miles west of Boston. The town's public schools serve students through Granby Junior-Senior High School, and the community is known for its rural character, with working farms, wooded hills, and conservation land. Granby is part of the Pioneer Valley region along the Connecticut River corridor, and it is home to the historic Hadley Farm Museum, which documents the agricultural heritage of the area. The town's single-family assessed values are above the statewide median, reflecting its appeal as a residential community within commuting distance of Amherst and Springfield.
