OAK GROVE Township, settled in 1855, was organized in 1857. "The name is derived from the profuse growth of oak trees, which are about equally distributed over the township" (History of the Upper Mississippi Valley, p. 285). Oak Grove, a village in section 18, located on the Rum River, was first settled in 1854, had a post office, 1857-1901, and was incorporated in 1993.
