History
China Grove's name derives from a grove of chinaberry trees that was located next to the old train depot. The China Grove depot which was dismantled in 1974, was located on Harris Street just behind Hanna Park. The grove provided welcomed shade for travelers and horses, especially during those hot summer days. Until about 1920 there were remnants of this grove, but the few surviving trees died from the traffic that was created by the old depot. The Town applied to the North Carolina Legislature for a charter, which was granted on March 11, 1889. It is assumed there was a settlement here in China Grove as early as 1710. The Town was first known as Savits Mill. Then, in 1846, the name was changed to Lutherville, but in 1849, it was given the name as we know it now, China Grove.
