History

The community was named for groves of fruit trees near the original town site.[2] A post office called Grovania was established in 1889, and remained in operation until 1952.[3]

The Georgia General Assembly incorporated the place as the Town of Grovania in 1909.[4] The town's municipal charter was dissolved in 1995[2] along with those of many other inactive Georgia municipalities.
