Bluegrove, Texas

Bluegrove, Texas

Bluegrove is an unincorporated community on Farm to Market Road 172 11 miles southeast of Henrietta in central Clay County, Texas, United States.

History

Early settlers named the area for the post oak trees that appeared blue at certain times of the day from a distance. Founders established a general store and it quickly became an economic hub for local farmers and ranchers. In 1895, Bluegrove received its post office. Passed by major thoroughfares and railroads, Bluegrove declined throughout the 20th Century and reported a population of 125 at century's end. The town remains a farming and ranching community and the JAC Electric Cooperative headquartered there serves Jack, Archer, and Clay counties.

Education

Joy is served by the Midway Independent School District.
