History
A post office called Fair Grove has been in operation since 1856. The community was named for a grove of trees near the original town site that reminded the early settlers of Fairgrove, North Carolina, from where they migrated.
The Boegel and Hine Flour Mill-Wommack Mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
