Provolt is an unincorporated community in Jackson County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is about 15miles southeast of Grants Pass on Oregon Route 238, near the Applegate River on the county line between Jackson and Josephine counties.[2] [3]
Provolt post office was named for a pioneer family of the area.[4] The Provolt Store was started about 1875 by Samuel Provolt.[5] The post office was established in 1895 in what was then Josephine County; Mary E. Provolt was the first postmaster.[4] The office was discontinued in 1955.[4]
According to author Ralph Friedman, Provolt's entire business district consists of the historic country store.[6] Provolt, however, also has a grange hall one block south of the store.[7]
