Meire Grove, Minnesota
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meire Grove is a city in Stearns County, Minnesota, United States. This town was named after the Meyer family who were the first settlers in that part of Minnesota. The reason the spelling is different from the town name is because when they had first applied for township status, the state had misspelled it accidentally.
