Felix Grundy, the 19th Century statesman after which Grundy County is named, was one of the greatest criminal lawyers of his time. He served with distinction in both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate, and as United States Attorney General in the cabinet of President James Polk. In Congress, Grundy championed the sale of public land in the West to settlers and pushed for the western development of railroads and mail service west of the Mississippi River. On January 15 , 1851 - 11 years after his death - the Iowa Third General Assembly, meeting in what is now the Old Capital Building on the campus of the University of Iowa - established for the first time the boundaries of many Iowa counties and assigned them names. One was named "Grundy," in honor of Felix Grundy, the renowned Tennessee lawyer, distinguished lawmaker, statesman, cabinet member and esteemed friend of presidents. He was born on September 11, 1777 , in Berkeley County, Western Virginia, the seventh son of George and Elizabeth Grundy, a farmer of English decent.
