Shady Grove is a ghost town in Houston County, Texas, United States.[1]
Shady Grove was settled in the 1850s. It soon got a post office but closed in 1866. A Baptist church was built in the mid-1860s and was rebuilt in 1896. In the mid-1930s, the church, a cemetery, and a few houses were in the area. These details remained the same in the mid-1960s, even though World War II caused most of the residents to move away. By the 1990s it was all but abandoned.[2]
Shady Grove is located on U.S. Highway 287, approximately 10 miles southeast of Crockett in southeastern Houston County.[2]
Most students in Shady Grove attend the Crockett Independent School District. The west side of County Road 4150 is in the Lovelady Independent School District.[3]
