Grove City, Borough in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, United States
Grove City is a borough in southeastern Mercer County, Pennsylvania, situated between Pittsburgh and Erie. The town is anchored by a major college campus and has a shopping center near the interstate that draws regional visitors.
The settlement began in 1798 when Valentine Cunningham built a gristmill along Wolf Creek and originally called it Pine Grove. The community gradually developed around this early enterprise.
Grove City College has shaped the town's character since its establishment, drawing students from across the country to study here. The campus and student community form a visible part of daily life in the borough.
The outlet center near Interstate 79 has many stores and restaurants spread across the shopping area. The location right off the highway makes it easy to access when traveling through the region.
The Guthrie Theatre, a historic cinema from 1927, still shows films every evening in its original single-screen layout. This preserved cinema has become rare in an era when most movie houses have been modernized or closed.
