==History==
Silver Grove is a [[railroad town]] founded in 1911 for the [[Chesapeake and Ohio Railway]]. In 1914, a newspaper described it as a modern town, because it boasted electric lights, an urban water and sewer system, a modernized fire department, a school, and a spacious park. In 1948, C&O wanted out of the city. In 1951, Gerald Losey was selected as the first mayor.<ref>Northern Kentucky.com.
