Shady Grove was a very small community in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, United States. It was located near Lake Keystone.
In the year 2000, 44 people lived there. By 2010, the population had dropped to just 2 people. A news report in 2011 said that one of those two people had moved away. This made Shady Grove the smallest town in Oklahoma at that time.
The town was made up of seven mobile home lots. The owner of these lots decided to make Shady Grove an official town in 1997. This was done to stop it from being taken over by a larger nearby city. However, the owner later ended the town's official status in 2006. The owner passed away in 2009, and almost everyone living there moved out.
It's important not to confuse this Shady Grove with other places that have similar names in Oklahoma. There is a Shady Grove in Cherokee County and another Shady Grove in McIntosh County.
