History & geography

History

Prior to Oklahoma statehood, Grove was part of the Delaware District of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. It was named for a grove of trees where it was sited. A post office, named "Brennen", was located in the limits of present-day Grove in 1888, but the city was not incorporated until the 1890s. Grove was aided in 1900 by connection to the Arkansas and Oklahoma Railroad (later acquired by the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway). Grove is also home to the Grand Lake Casino, which was opened in 1988.
