A local storeowner offered to use his store as a post office and offered to name the city after United States Postmaster General General Walter Quinton Gresham if a post office was granted. The population was 90,205 at the United States Census, 2000 census; in 2008, the Population Research Center estimated the city's population at 100,655.
