Town
of Groveland Homepage
Groveland is a small residential community which
retains all of the characteristics of a friendly
rural town in the setting of a convenient
suburb. The town was incorporated 1850, late in
the state's history, after spending the 17th and
18th centuries attached first to Rowley and then
to Bradford. Groveland changed gradually during
the 20th century from a shoe industry and
textile manufacturing community to one which is
almost wholly residential, serving now as a
suburb of nearby cities. >
