Grovania, Georgia facts for kids
Grovania is a small place in Houston County, Georgia, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community, which means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's usually managed by the county.
History of Grovania
Grovania got its name because there were many groves of fruit trees near where the community first started.
Early Days and Post Office
A post office was opened in Grovania in 1889. This post office helped people send and receive mail for many years. It stayed open until 1952.
Becoming and Un-becoming a Town
In 1909, the Georgia General Assembly decided to make Grovania an official town. The General Assembly is the group of people who make laws for the state of Georgia. When they "incorporated" Grovania, it meant the community got its own official town government.
However, in 1995, Grovania's official town status was ended. This happened to many other towns in Georgia that were no longer very active or didn't have a working town government. So, Grovania went back to being an unincorporated community.
