Grover filed his plans at the San Luis Obispo County Court House and eventually founded what was to be known as ''City of Grover City''. There was a popular vote that allowed incorporating on December 21, 1959, as ''City of Grover City''. However, the name seemed redundant so some people sought better names, especially ocean-oriented names. In 1992, there was another popular vote, in which the town's name was officially changed from "City of Grover City" to "Grover Beach" to emphasize the seaside location.<ref>[http://www.grover.org/his.htm History of Grover Beach, CA] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090614224155/http://www.grover.org/his.htm |date=June 14, 2009 }} accessed September 4, 2009</ref>
