History
Further information: Rural Municipality of Grandview and Grandview, Manitoba

The RM was incorporated on January 1, 2015, via the amalgamation of the RM of Grandview and the Town of Grandview.[1] It was formed as a requirement of The Municipal Amalgamations Act, which required that municipalities with a population less than 1,000 amalgamate with one or more neighbouring municipalities by 2015.[6] The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality.[7]
