Council Grove is a city and county seat in Morris County, Kansas, United States. This city is fifty-five miles southwest of Topeka. It was named after an agreement between European Americans and the Osage Nation about allowing settlers' wagon trains to pass through the area and proceed to the West. Pioneers gathered at a grove of trees so that wagons could band together for their trip west. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 2,182.
History
Council Grove was one of the last stops on the Santa Fe Trail heading southwest. The first European-American settler was Seth Millington Hays, who came to the area in 1847 to trade with the Kaw tribe, which had a reservation established in the area in 1846. Hays was a great grandson of Daniel Boone.
A post office was established in Council Grove on February 26, 1855.
In 1858, the town was officially incorporated by the legislature. Hays also opened a restaurant in 1857, the Hays House, which is said to be the oldest continuously operating restaurant west of the Mississippi River.

Lyrics:
Here alone again on the highway
All the rush, the hurry
All the sound and fury
Rattling my mind
So I’m headed out to the heartland
For the fields of plenty
Though the hills of my memory
And I’m rolling back in time
Oh, tear my heart to pieces
Wanna go back to the way it was
Oh, was it ever really perfect?
Or was is always just
Council Grove
I hit an old trail, now a main street
With familiar glances
Tales of last chances
And driving further on
I see a silhouette of the old place
Full of dreams and memories
A little small and empty
Now that I am grown and gone
Oh, tear my heart to pieces
I wanna go back to the way it was
Oh, was it ever really perfect...

On a hilltop there’s an old bell
Must have pierced the quiet
Days of roar and riot
I guess they toll in every time
So I’m leaving now, I’ve got work to do
Moving on, returning
Through the grass fires burning
Like a new day in the night
Oh, tear my heart to pieces
Wanna go back to the way it was
Oh, is it ever really perfect?
Or is it always just the same as it always was
