North Grove is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Harrison Township, Miami County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
North Grove was originally called "Moorefield" when it was laid out in 1854 by William North.[3] The name was changed to "North Grove" at about the time the Pan Handle Railroad arrived in the town in 1867.[4] A post office was established at North Grove in 1868, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1934.[5]
North Grove is located in southeastern Miami County. Indiana State Road 19 passes the northeast border of the CDP, leading northwest to Peru, the county seat, and southeast 2.5miles to Amboy. Kokomo is to the southwest.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the North Grove CDP has an area of 0.13sqmi, all land.[1] Walnut Creek runs along the eastern edge of the community, leading north to Pipe Creek, which flows northwest to the Wabash River at Lewisburg.
