Fair Grove Estates is built on a 100 acre parcel which was settled
by John T. Jones and his family in 1874. The Jones family came from
Wales, and we have built our heritage into our name and logo. If
you look closely, you will note that the trunk of the tree is the
shape of Wales. In addition, the name “Fair Grove” is the literal
translation of the Welch town where the Jones family originated.
Since the late 1800s, the ground has been used primarily as a dairy
operation and crop farm. In its day, the farm milked nearly 250 cows
three times a day, fed over 200 head of younger cattle, and provided
employment for many family members. In early 2003, the sheds, barns,
and farm yard were demolished to make room for the Fair Grove project.
Nearly 8,000 tons of concrete were recycled to be used in the Fair Grove
Estate roads.
Since the farmland has been in the family for nearly 130 years, Fair
Grove Estates is much more than just a land development project. It
is a symbol of its heritage. As a result, the family has a personal
interest in the long term success of Fair Grove Estates.
The following pictures represent the evolution of the land over the
past several years:
