Old Ghost Towns - Never had a post office:


Hickory Grove


Hickory Grove is located between Fairfield and Ward Prairie.  The community 
boasted a cotton gin and store at one time.  There was the Hickory Grove 
School (established in 1870) within less than 150 feet of the cemetery. 
During 1893-1894 school enrollment was 24. The Jameson family owned land
here. Hickory Grove residents always had Fairfield as the nearest post office.

  [Warning - There is a ghost town called "Hickory Grove" community in Leon County 
that existed in the 1900s on the Jewett/Bowling road that once had a one room
church/school building and at least nine houses near land drained by Brushy Creek. 
This Jewett/Bowling road was first laid out and built in 1877, predating the 
community. Now the few remaining old bricks of the community is on land in the 
modern "Buck Creek Ranch".]
