Present-day Forest Grove includes residential land that was owned and developed by the Canadian Pacific Railway when the settlement of Sutherland was established in 1909.[4] Originally part of Sutherland, the land along Gray (formerly Railway) Avenue was transferred to Forest Grove when the neighbourhood boundaries were redrawn in the 1990s. The remaining land on which Forest Grove now sits was annexed between 1955 to 1959,[3] and the majority of residential construction was done between 1970 and 1990 (although the streets north of 115th Street, east of Central Avenue and south of what is now Rossmo Road were on city street maps as early as 1961). The housing stock is composed mostly of low-density, single detached houses and multiple-unit apartment buildings.[2] Forest Grove School was opened on October 15, 1984, and St. Volodymyr School opened on March 1, 1989.[5]

It plans, coordinates, and administers seasonal programs for all age groups, from adult fitness to teen programs, children's sports and toddler activities. It also works with local schools and the City to maintain and operate neighbourhood parks and outdoor rinks.[8]
Business areas include commercial and light industrial activity along Gray Avenue, adjacent to the CP Rail tracks. On 115th Street, there is a strip mall beside the Forest Grove Village apartment/condo complex, and another freestanding commercial building closer to Central Avenue. 57 home-based businesses exist in the area.[2]
