== Fun facts ==
* The town was named after the stone that was once quarried in the area.
* Though town officials have been working to change this since 1990, residents and businesses who get their mail delivered have a Salisbury address because the Granite Quarry post office only has boxes, not delivery. A proposal rejected by the Postal Service would have allowed a Granite Quarry address but a Salisbury zip code. In early November 2015, with the help of U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, the town persuaded the Postal Service make the change.
* Granite Quarry has little in the way of amenities to offer. It has dollar stores, a sports complex, a few local restaurants and businesses, a little bit of public battle fields, a Subway, Wahoo's Diner, The Hotdog Shack, Slice of Heaven Pizza & Wings, and not much else.
