Grier City is a small community located in Rush Township, within Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is known as a "census-designated place" (CDP). This means it's an area that the government counts as a separate community for population statistics, even though it doesn't have its own official local government like a city or town.
Grier City was once part of a larger CDP called Grier City-Park Crest for the 2000 census. However, for the 2010 census, it became its own separate CDP, with Park Crest becoming another distinct CDP. The community is easy to find, as it's located right off Interstate 81, a major highway.
