The population was 4,789 at the 2010 census. HistoryA post office called Mountain Grove has been in operation since 1875.[3] The community owes its present name to a stand of trees near the original elevated town site.[4] In 1841 a settlement was built on land east of Mountain Grove near a spring in a grove of hickory timber. A post office was established in Hickory Spring in 1853. The post office, in 1878, was named for Judge Robert W. Fyan, a prominent figure in early county history. In 1859, a general store was built at the crossroads about one mile west of Hickory Spring. The old post office established under the name of Fyan before the Civil War changed to Mountain Grove, with reference to its location on a ridge in a grove of trees, in 1878.[4] This became known as the "mountain store, mountain grove or the mountain" due to its elevation of {{convert|1,525|ft}}. One of the most famous incidents in Mountain Grove occurred in the middle of May 1883, when what was called a "nipping frost" caused every tree, sapling and shrub in the community of Fyan and the Fyan depot to be cut clean as from an axe. Thus, the joining of Mountain Grove and adjoining Fyan occurred. In June, the name of the depot was changed to Mountain Grove. The town reapplied for a charter in 1886, changed its boundaries and held its first election. Administration Building, Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station, Mountain Grove Bandstand, and Mountain Grove City Hall are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5][6]GeographyMountain Grove is located in the Ozarks, along the south edge of the Salem Plateau. The community is served by US Route 60 and Missouri Route 95. The community is mostly within Wright County, with the eastern portion extending into Texas County. The town sits on the drainage divide between the White River tributaries to the south and the Missouri River tributaries to the north.[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|4.04|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|4.01|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|0.03|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.[8] Demographics{{US Census population|1880= 92 |1890= 830 |1900= 1004 |1910= 1722 |1920= 2212 |1930= 2229 |1940= 2431 |1950= 3106 |1960= 3176 |1970= 3377 |1980= 3974 |1990= 4182 |2000= 4574 |2010= 4789 |estyear=2016 |estimate=4692 |estref=[9] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[10] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[11] of 2010, there were 4,789 people, 2,008 households, and 1,217 families residing in the city.
