Pine Grove, Dallas
County, Arkansas
Pine Grove, a farming community in southwestern Dallas County,
began to be settled about 1841. Benjamin DeLaughter, moved
to Pine Grove in 1871. He was a Baptist minister farmer and
operated a large steam powered gin.
James N. Butler named the
community when the Pine Grove Post Office was established
in 1874. The post office was located in the general store operated
by James and his brother, John W. Butler. The post
office was later moved to the Tom Daily Store, about three
miles southeast of Sparkman; later it was moved to Jasper
Seale Store & Gin near Chapel Hill Church. After the post office
was discontinued in 1923, the mail was carried by horseback
from Holly Springs to Pine Grove to Sparkman to Fairview.
