Union Grove Township is a township in Meeker County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 633 according to the 2010 census. The unincorporated community of Crow River is part of the township.
Union Grove Township was settled in 1856 by Lyman Allen, Andrew Hamilton, John Lowell Haywood, and a man named Baker. Allen and Haywood returned to Massachusetts in 1860. Baker died in Union Grove for unknown reasons. I don’t know if he was related to the Baker who was killed in the Acton Massacre. Lyman Allen named the town for a grove of woods that surrounded a union church where Lyman was a member. The township was organized on April 18 or 30, 1866. The meeting was held in the home of Thomas Ryckman. These residents also found the necessity to rule that hogs and sheep could not run loose between April 1 and November 1. During and following the US-Dakota War of 1862, several of the early families left the area and never returned. The small village of Crow River was the only settlement of note in the township, in which the Jacobson Store at Crow River might be a well-known landmark. . [3]
