Grover
Grover (Wayne County) is on the north side of the Aquarius Plateau (Boulder Mountain) on U-24. It was originally settled in 1880 and named for then U.S. President Grover Cleveland.
The settlement known as Grover is located ten miles southeast of Teasdale, on Carcass Creek, so named because of the dead bodies of sheep and cattle found in it. The creek is narrow and steep, and an animal slipping into it can hardly ever get out. South and east of the village are mountains and wooded slopes, while in the distance to the north loom the highly-colored crags and leges of Wayne Wonderland.
Until about the town had a post office, it was known as Carcass, named for the creek. Since Grover Cleveland was President of the United Sates during the time the town was given a post office, it was named in his honor.
GROVER BRANCH, Wayne Stake, Wayne Co., Utah, consists of about 15 families of saints who reside in a scattered condition on Carcass Creek and Fish Creek. These two streams rise in the Boulder Range of Mountains on the south. The village of Grover is ten miles southeast of Teasdale, ten miles southeast of Torrey, and 26 miles southeast of Loa, the stake headquarters. The saints of Grover hold meetings in a log school house erected about 1912. From the beginning of its existence the members of the Grover Branch belonged to the Teasdale Ward.
