The Origins of Grove Rats, despite the negative stories created in the minds of haters, the real story is one of pride.
By the Spring of 1937, it looked like the country was finally recovering from the great depression. Production, profits, and wages had regained their 1929 levels. This is when the Grove grew into a town, and luckily this was done when things were looking up. The American economy took a sharp downturn in mid-1937, lasting for 13 months through most of 1938 and it wasn't until W.W.II that employment began to recover.
1937...that was the year that changed the Grove, from being just a rural farm crossroads, into a small town. The original Big World Store, the High School and the original Grove Theater were built within a few months of each other. This became the center of the community.
The local youth took pride in their community and just like a school adopts a mascot, they decided they would too. They fancied themselves a force to be reckoned with and adopted the moniker "Grove Rats", a strong, fearsome title.
The name stuck and was passed down through the generations. While subsequent generations tried to lay claim to its' invention, it clearly predated their arrival on this earth.
It has come to be a proud symbol for Pleasant Grove, in spite of attempts by haters to make it derogatory.
Standing Strong, Standing Proud, We are the Grove Rat!

Get the Grove Street mug.Related Words
Orange Grove is a Small Ass town about 20 miles from Corpus Christi. There isn’t shit to do here except gossip about who the fuck is selling drugs. If you live here you parents probably did too, for whatever reason they don’t want to leave. Now this place has a shitty ass Dariy Queen that all your high school buddy’s have probably worked at and two other Mexican restaurants. One is a shit and the other is overpriced and pretty much for white people @ Milpas. If you have a secret, it’s not one EVERYONE KNOWS FUCKING EVERYTHING!!!

Get the Bohemian Grove mug.This school is filled with kids who live in big ass houses and smoke weed heavily. This school could be stereotyped all around. The school basketball team is decent, baseball team usually gets deep in the playoff bracket, and everything else is decent. If you go to Westland or Central Crossing or Grove City Christian, you're wildly hated here. There are fake bloods and crips here in this school. The school makes great cookies tho. If you go here you call it Grove City.
Central Crossing Student: Ha we beat yall in football.
Grove City Student: Yall lose errythang else tho. Stop bein goofies fuzz. We Grove City High School will pop yo ass.
