History
Groveport had its start as a single entity in 1846 when the neighboring rival towns of Wert's Grove and Rarey's Port merged. These towns were located along the Ohio and Erie Canal. The city was incorporated as a village in 1847. A post office called Groveport has been in operation since 1847. The city is the location of the Groveport Log House, which was built in 1815 and moved in 1974 to a location near Groveport Cemetery.
