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 was the only incorporated town in Delaware County by the time of Oklahoma statehood in 1907, and became the county seat. However, Grove's location near the northern border of the county, and not near the county center, made it inconvenient for some county residents to visit, and after a county-wide vote in 1908, Jay was redesignated as the county seat. Grove eventually lost its railroad connection in 1940.
In recent years, the city underwent a $3.7 million park project to attract fishing events to Grand Lake, most recently attracting the 2013 and 2016 Bassmaster Classic. Grove is also home to the Grand Lake Casino, which was opened in 1988.
