==History==
Elizabeth Grove was established in 1955 as one of the southern suburbs of what was then the new satellite city of [Elizabeth](/source/Elizabeth%2C_South_Australia). It was originally a private subdivision of Sections 3112–3114, 3119, 3124, 3123 and 3120 of the [Hundred of Munno Para](/source/Hundred_of_Munno_Para),<ref name="PLB">{{cite web |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/ |id=SA0022274 |work=Property Location Browser Report |title=Placename Details: Elizabeth Grove |date=11 March 2009 |publisher=Government of South Australia |access-date=1 November 2017 |archive-date=12 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012010923/http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> which includes the current suburb plus some of [Elizabeth South](/source/Elizabeth_South) and [Elizabeth Vale](/source/Elizabeth_Vale).<ref>{{cite map |url=http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/maps/series/hundreds_SA_63360/M/munno_para/map830bje63360_munno_para1964.pdf |title=Munno Para, Co.

The Elizabeth Grove [Methodist Church](/source/Methodist_Church_of_Australasia) (now [Uniting Church](/source/Uniting_Church_in_Australia)) foundation stone was laid on 27 November 1956 by [Premier](/source/premier_of_South_Australia) [Thomas Playford](/source/Thomas_Playford_IV), less than two weeks after Elizabeth was inaugurated. The building provided a church but also a community hall used for many activities. It also had tennis courts, the first home courts of the Elizabeth Tennis Club. The building has a local heritage listing, and has been added to several times over the years.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ifech.com/2017/11/07/elizabeth-grove-uniting-church-south-australia/ |title=Elizabeth Grove Uniting Church – South Australia |date=7 November 2017 |access-date=9 November 2017 |publisher=iFECH Corporate Group}}</ref>
