Grandora is what is referred-to as a "Shadow Town", which means that it was once significantly larger than the hamlet that it is now. Grandora stands out these days because one of its homes is a converted railroad station. For some reason, it currently has a "Perdue" station sign on it.
There is a very cute story about how Grandora received its name. It goes like this: A pair of newly-weds ventured west to find a homestead. The husband found a spot he liked and said "Isn't it just grand, Dora?!" Thus, the location was named named Grandora.
However, Grandora originally adopted its name from the name of the railroad station that was established as part of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad. Back when the Grand Trunk Railway Company was planning a western expansion of their establish rail system, an unknown person devised an alphabetical naming scheme to name all of the un-named stations and lines, starting in Manitoba, cycling five full rounds of the alphabet, and starting a sixth before finally ending at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Grandora is part of the third cycle, situated between Farley and Hawoods.
Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad went out of business in the early 1920's. The railroad was taken over by the Canadian government and was made part of the Canadian National Railroad which is very active to this day.
