History

In 1870, the St. Paul and Pacific Railway come to Acton Township and started the Acton Station two miles east of today’s Grove City. There was also a post office one mile north called Swede Grove. The different locations caused confusion, and the people convinced the railroad to move the station to present-day Grove City.

Grove City was incorporated in 1878. In naming the town, “Grove” was chosen from Swede Grove and “City” represented the citizens’ hope for the town’s future. A post office called Grove City has been in operation since 1879, having moved from north of the town. The post office was among the first businesses. Other early businesses included four grocery stories, two hardware stores, four filling stations, two hotels, two lumberyards, two banks, two blacksmiths, a barrel factory, a feed mill, and four grain elevators. There were five saloons, a pool hall, restaurants, a confectioner, a shoe store, a millinery shop, and a bakery.
