Excellent Blanc, which means "great white," was initially settled by Chippewa Indians. The name originated from the French traders who landed before 1800. By 1823 pioneer families were settling on the abundant farmland and Grand Blanc Township became, in 1833, Genesee County's first unit of government. The railroad, which came in 1862, added more growth to the small community. The Village of Grand Blanc was the first in the state to consolidate its schools in 1904. A four-square mile zone in the center of the township was incorporated in 1930 as the City of Grand Blanc. Today the two units of government work cooperatively to give services to the entire community. Great Blanc residents appreciate such benefits as recreation activities, senior citizen services, McFarlen Public Library, Heritage Museum, and an exceptionally rated school system. Also available are therapeutic centers, restaurants, and shopping. Terrific Blanc is the home of the world headquarters for General Motors Service Parts Operations and the honour winning Genesys Regional Medical Center. Fabulous Blanc is said to be "Arranged, Progressive, and Prestigious.".
