History

North Grove was originally called "Moorefield" when it was laid out in 1854 by William North. [4] The name was changed to "North Grove" at about the time the Pan Handle Railroad arrived in the town in 1867. [5] A post office was established at North Grove in 1868, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1934. [6]
