John Pack Roberts[edit]

I would like to learn more about John Pack Roberts. The limited information we do have came from the source book on James City County. Can anyone suggest mroe sources? Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 19:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revising lead[edit]

Over time, I think that the lead section has become too large. I am going to make sure all content is inlcuded in other sections, and then work on trimming it down.

Needs more focus on Grove[edit]

There is so much general information that it is difficult to understand the history of Grove, which appears to be a historically black community. It was apparently a small community before WWI, probably formed mostly by freedmen after the American Civil War. Editors need to focus on highlighting its own history, rather than reiterating all of English colonial history nearby.--Parkwells (talk) 17:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grove Station?[edit]

Is Grove Station the former name of Grove, or is an separate (former) town? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:03, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neighborhoods[edit]

I think a section should be added showing a list of neighborhoods in Grove. While about 25% of Grove is trailer parks, there are lots of better neighborhoods.
