A Name That's a Bit Tricky
The name "Head of Grassy" might sound like it's at the very beginning of the Grassy Fork. However, it's actually about 5 miles (or 8 kilometers) downstream from where the Grassy Fork truly starts. So, its name is a bit of a misnomer, meaning it's a name that doesn't quite fit the reality!
A Look at Its Past
Like many small communities, Head of Grassy once had its own post office. This post office first opened its doors on November 19, 1878. It served the community for many years, helping people send and receive letters and packages. The post office eventually closed down, either in 1982 or 1984.
