 * McArthur, Lewis A. "Oregon Geographic Names." //Quarterly of the Oregon Historical Society//, Vol 26, No 4 (Dec 1925): 389.
 * "Inquiries as to how this community received its name have produced no results. There are very few cherries in the place and the postmaster advises that he was there at the time it was named and can give no reason for the name being selected. It is supposed that its proximity to Forest Grove had something to do with the form of name selected."
 * -. //OHQ//, Vol 49, No 4 (Dec 1948): 305
 * "Cherry Grove was established in 1912 with Gustaf E. Forsberg the first postmaster. Does anyone know why the name was adopted?"
 * -. //OHQ//, Vol 50, No 2 (June 1949)): 135
 * "This community is on the upper reaches of the Tualatin River. It is mentioned in //OGN// 1944 edition, but data about the origin of the name were meager at the time... In March, 1949, Miss Margaret Hinman of Forest Grove, sent some additional information. The community was apparently established by August Lovegren, who built a sawmill in the locality. Miss Hinman says that about seventy-five families, mostly Scandinavians, settled there. The name was apparently selected by Lovegren because he thought the style was pleasing. The name was suggested by nearby Forest Grove. There were no cherry trees in Cherry Grove and horticulturally the name has no significance at all....Cherry Grove post office was established May 8, 1912, with Gustaf E. Forsberg postmaster."
