An account from the chapter on Butler township, in the words of 1879.

The county history of 1879 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 6 fires within 5 miles of Willow Grove between 2005 and 2020, burning about 2 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• New Middleton
• Salem Heights
• Salem
• Winona
• Bridgewater
• Franklin Square

Every fire recorded in Columbiana County

Museums hold 440 specimens collected within 10 miles of Willow Grove between 1878 and 1975: 227 Animalia, 185 Plantae, 28 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), B. Leeper and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Willow Grove: 1 past producer. None of them still produces. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
