Gridley was platted in 1899 when the Chicago & Northwestern railroad was extended to that point.[2] The railroad company named the town after Ashel Gridley, an Illinois banker.[3] A post office was established in Gridley in 1900, and remained in operation until being discontinued in 1910.[4]
Gridley's population was 27 in 1925.[5]
