About Hickory Grove
Hickory Grove (564 residents at the 2020 census) is a small town in southwestern York County. The land was granted to John McKenney in 1771 by George III of England; a post office operated here as early as 1831 under the name Wylie's Store (per the York County historical marker, read September 24, 2026). The town incorporated in 1888 when the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago ("3 C's") Railroad completed its line through town, connecting the area to coastal South Carolina; it was named for the hickory trees that surrounded the area and called the "Fifth Avenue of Western York County." The historic downtown still holds brick storefronts and several 19th-century churches.
