History

Teeds Grove (formerly Teed's Grove, with the apostrophe s) was named after the first settler of Elk River Township.[4]

Teeds Grove's post office has a complicated history. Established on 6 January 1873, its name was changed to Teeds on 21 June 1883 and changed back to Teeds Grove on 8 July 1904. The post office was ultimately discontinued on 2 July 1965, when it was attached to the Clinton post office. Although its post office is gone, Teeds Grove retains its own ZIP Code, 52771.[5]

Teeds Grove's population was 66 in 1902,[6] and 75 in 1925.[7]
