"Spurting up as the result of a spring-fed watering hole, Grove, Oklahoma is a history rich city Rich in the traditions of both the Indian Territory, U. S. and the early settlement of Oklahoma by the westward bound pioneers.
A clear, cool and refreshing spring created watering hole, which now is right in the middle of the Grove Springs Park, for which it's named after. This water hole made this northeastern Oklahoma area a perfect overnight spot for the wagon trains headed westward. The weary pioneers referred to the watering hole as Grove Springs. The area had long been a popular watering hole for both Indian and wildlife before the infiltration of civilization.
Due to the traffic created by the now infamous watering hole, Grove Springs provided a natural attraction for merchants to set up their wares to provide goods to the wagoneers and also to trade with the many Indians in the area. Soon a settlement sprang up that later became Grove, Oklahoma."
