WELCOME FROM MAYOR ED TRUMBULL

Welcome to Grove,

It is with great pleasure to welcome you to the largest and fastest growing city in Delaware County.   Grove is nestled in Northeast Oklahoma in the beautiful Ozark mountain range surrounded by the most beautiful 1300 miles of shoreline of Grand Lake O'the Cherokees. Grand Lake was formed on the convergence of three rivers, comprised of 59,000 acres and is 64 miles long. 

Grand Lake O'the Cherokees was named by BASS as one of the top 10 best lakes in the nation   The City of Grove partnered with the OK Department of Wildlife, Grand River Dam Authority, and the Department of Transportation to construct a $6 million boating and fishing facility at Wolf Creek Park resulting in Grove hosting several top of the line national fishing tournaments including 2013 and 2016 Bassmaster Classic.

I encourage you to visit our fine and friendly community.  Enjoy our unique downtown shops and restaurants, with added attractions like Har-Ber Village, an antique museum and Lendonwood Gardens, a botanical garden that  rates at the top.   For more excitement, take time to watch boat racing on Grand Lake from Hydro plane to drag boat races, you won't be disappointed. 

Sincerely
Ed Trumbull
Mayor
