Council Grove is a city and county seat in Morris County, Kansas, United States.[1] As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 2,140.[4] It was named after an agreement between American settlers and the Osage Nation allowing settlers' wagon trains to pass westward through the area on the Santa Fe Trail. Pioneers gathered at a grove of trees so that wagons could band together for their trip west.
