Do you know of London Grove ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about London Grove. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with London Grove.<1>

Our sources for London Grove (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of London Grove other than they indicate that London Grove would be found somewhere in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
