Grove Hill, the seat of Clarke County, was first home to the Choctaw and was settled by American pioneers in the early 1800s. It was first called Magoffin's Store, after James Magoffin's shop, which opened in 1815 about two miles from today's courthouse, and it was later known as Smithville and then Macon. During the Creek War settlers in the area took refuge at Fort White. Clarke County, established in 1812 and named for General John Clarke of Georgia, moved its seat here from Clarksville in 1832 because the spot was central to the county, and a one-story frame courthouse was built. The name Grove Hill, for the large grove of oaks on the plateau, was chosen around 1850.
In the 1830s Grove Hill was one of the county's principal towns. One of its earliest businesses was a hotel kept by Tom Brown, a free man of color, and the Clarke County Democrat, founded here in 1856, is the oldest continually operating business in the county. The Macon Male and Female Academy opened in September 1846. In the summer of 1853 a yellow fever epidemic swept through, killing many residents and nearly wiping out the town. A two-story brick courthouse built in 1899 was razed in 1955 for the present courthouse, completed that year. Clarke County High School opened in a two-story brick building in 1909, and the town was incorporated in 1929. Grove Hill has many sites on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Alston-Cobb House, Fort Sinquefield and the Grove Hill Courthouse Square Historic District, and it is home to the Clarke County Museum.
