SPRING GROVE Township, settled in 1852 and organized in 1858, received the name of its first post office, which was established in 1855 at the home of James Smith, the earliest settler, beside a spring and a grove. The village in sections 11 and 14 was organized December 31, 1889, and incorporated on January 14, 1890. Smith came from Pennsylvania about 1852, opened the first store in 1853, became the first postmaster, the first justice of the peace, and a member of the county commissioners court. Most of the village was platted on land owned by William J. Flemming, who also opened the first tavern in 1856. A station of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad was located in section 11.
