Honey Grove is a quiet village nestled in some of the most beautiful landscape in the
Red River Valley. Tall, lush tree groves give way to rolling, green prairie along
Highway 56, and the town center is full of wonderfully strong stone buildings
constructed from locally quarried rock.

Honey Grove was first settled by Americans in the 1840s, though legend has it that
Davy Crockett passed by the area on his way to destiny and called it a 'honey grove'
because of the large bee hive he found there. By 1846, Honey Grove had a post
office, but it was incorporated into a city in 1873. It became a market center for the
farms in the area, and by 1890 over 3,000 people called Honey Grove home. But as it
is with farming, prosperity wasn't always constant, and by the year 2000, the
population had stabilized at 1,746.
