Granna has a population of 2,578 (2005) and was founded in 1652 by Count Per Brahe.

Up until the local government reform of 1971 Granna and its immediate surroundings constituted a city municipality of its own, since then an integral part of Jönköping Municipality.

Granna is, despite its small population, for historical reasons often still referred to as a city. Statistics Sweden, however, only counts localities with more than 10,000 inhabitants a cities.

Granna is known for its red and white candy canes, also known as peppermint rocks or "polkagrisar" in Swedish. They were first made by the widow Amalia Eriksson in 1859. A statue of Amalia can now be seen in the park at the foot of Granna mountain. The town is popular with tourists and is a connection point for the ferry service to the island Visingsö.
