UNION GROVE, TEXAS (Cherokee County). Union Grove was near the junction of Farm roads 1910 and 2138, six miles west of Alto in central Cherokee County. The site was probably first settled before the Civil War,^qv but a community did not grow up until later. In the mid-1930s the small settlement had a church, a sawmill, and a number of houses. After World War II^qv many of the residents left the area, but in the 1990s the church, a cemetery, and a few scattered dwellings still remained.
