Groveland is a small, quiet place in McPherson County, Kansas, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county. You can find Groveland southwest of the city of McPherson, right near the K-61 highway and Comanche Road.

A Look at Groveland's Past

Groveland has a simple history. One important event in its past was the closing of its local post office. This happened in 1912. A post office is a place where people can send and receive mail, buy stamps, and sometimes even do other things like pay bills. When the post office closed, it meant residents had to go to a nearby town for their mail services.

Schools and Learning

Even though Groveland doesn't have its own city government, the children living there still get to go to public school. The community is part of the Inman USD 448 public school district. A school district is a special area that manages and runs schools for all the students living within its borders. This means kids from Groveland attend schools that are part of the Inman district, getting their education alongside students from other nearby areas.
