Grover is a statutory town in Weld, Colorado, that was first established as a post office in the late 1800s, servicing ranches in the area; it was located approximately half a mile from where the town now resides. The area was originally called “Point of Rocks” but was renamed around 1880 after the owner of the house that acted as the post office, Mrs. Dolly Donovan (Grover was her maiden name). The Burlington Railroad arrived in 1887 and by 1889, the town included a depot (the town's activity hub), two hotels, a bank, and a few businesses. The post office, the first along the Burlington line, has operated without any closures ever since; the railway line ceased operations in 1973 and the depot is now the Grover Depot Museum. The town had a female mayor and an all-female town board in 1929, after the women grew impatient over the antics of a pool hall proprietor (and, presumably, his male clients); taking matters into their own hands, they reduced the civic debt significantly, something the previous boards had not achieved.
