Do you know of Sterling Grove ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Sterling 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 Sterling Grove.<1>

Our sources for Sterling 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 Sterling Grove other than they indicate that Sterling Grove would be found somewhere in Greenville County, South Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1837 and closed  in 1892.
