Editing Oak Grove, Minnesota (section)

==History==
Oak Grove first became an organized [[civil township|township]] in 1857, and was so named because of the large groves of oak trees in the area.  The village of Oak Grove was founded in 1854, and a post office operated from 1857 to 1901.  The township incorporated as the city of Oak Grove in 1993.<ref name=MNnames>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Place Names|url=http://mnplaces.mnhs.org/upham/city.cfm?PlaceNameID=2232&BookCodeID=71&County=2&SendingPage=Results.cfm|year=2001|publisher=[[Minnesota Historical Society|Minnesota Historical Society Press]]|edition=3rd|location=[[Saint Paul, Minnesota]]|isbn=0-87351-396-7|access-date=July 1, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927092000/http://mnplaces.mnhs.org/upham/city.cfm?PlaceNameID=2232&BookCodeID=71&County=2&SendingPage=Results.cfm|archive-date=September 27, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>
