Origin of Groveland

Originally, Groveland was the East Parish of Bradford, which was part of the town of Rowley. Before Bradford was separated from Rowley in 1672, it was called “Rowley on the Merrimack,” or just “Merrimack.” In 1897, Bradford was annexed by Haverhill. The Town of Groveland was officially incorporated on September 9, 1850. Residents celebrate the anniversary of this day as Groveland Day.

What Groveland is Known for…

Dedicated on Dec. 18, 1874, the First Congregational Church in Groveland is home to a bell crafted by Paul Revere. Of the 900 bells made by Revere’s company, this is the only remaining bell in active service. The Paul Revere and Sons bell, which first rang out from the Old South Church in 1815, was moved to the First Congregational Church and continues to ring out on Sunday mornings to call members to worship.

Short List of Historic Places or Recreation Spots

The Little Red School House, aka, The North School, is a one-room school house that was built in 1865. Still situated at its original location on Broad Street in a section of town known as Savaryville, the Little Red School House is owned by the town of Groveland, and leased to the Groveland Garden Club. The building was used as a school until 1956 when it could no longer accommodate the increase in the number of school-age children. The Little Red School House still boasts the same blackboards and floors that date back to its very beginnings.

Located on Washington St., Veasey Memorial Park is a 47.5 acre property, owned and managed by the Groveland Conservation Commission for open space purposes and passive recreational use.
