City of Groveport

City of Groveport Central Ohio's Hometown – Official page for up-to-date information. The community’s historic roots and proud heritage are still evident today.

Groveport, Ohio – Central Ohio's Hometown– is a growing central Ohio suburb in southeastern Franklin County. The community has a rich history, even predating the opening of the Ohio & Erie Canal in 1831 and the City’s incorporation in 1847. The immaculately restored Town Hall building at Main & Front Streets is the centerpiece for Groveport’s historic downtown business district. Quality of life fo

r both residents and businesses continues to be the Mayor and Council’s top priority. We pride ourselves in providing a state of the art recreation and aquatics center, an excellent arts and education program, a world class golf course, and services for both our children and senior citizens alike. The City has experienced tremendous economic growth over the last twenty years because we have been dedicated to continuously promoting the City as a world-class place in which to do business with appealing assets, incentives and amenities.

THROWBACK THURSDAY! ⏳

🚒 Pictured here is the Madison Township Fire Engine House on College Street near Canal Street in Groveport, shortly after its completion in the spring of 1947.

👨🏼‍🚒 For nearly four decades, this station proudly served the community before being replaced by newer facilities: Fire Station 181 (this station) moved to Fire House Lane and South Hamilton Road in 1985, and Fire Station 182 on Gender Road was added in 1996.

🚔 The township’s police force was established in 1972 and also operated out of this College Street station. In 1995, the Police Department moved into new headquarters on Madison Lane.

THROWBACK THURSDAY! 🎓

👏 Today (5/21/26) is also the last day of school for Groveport Madison Schools. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

📸 We dug into the archives and found this photo from May 21, 1956 - Cruiser graduation day exactly 70 years ago today. For years, GM graduations occurred in June.

Fun Facts:
🏫 The Class of 1956 was the last class to graduate from the school known today as Groveport Elementary. Back then the school housed every grade level.

🏀 That graduation was held in the gym next door (today’s Middle School Central gym) because it had more seating. Plus, the gym doubles as an auditorium, complete with a separate stage at one end. Some call this style a "gymitorium".

🗞 58 seniors graduated in 1956, compared to nearly 500 in this year’s class.

🗣️ Salutatory and valedictory speeches were delivered by Gary Throp and Ronnie Caldwell, respectively.
