'''Grove Street''' is a street in [[Ganton]], [[Los Santos]], which is the main stronghold for the [[Grove Street Families]].
==History==
Grove Street is the home of [[Sean "Sweet" Johnson]] and [[Carl "CJ" Johnson]], the leaders of the Grove Street Families. Both were born in the [[Johnson House]] in Grove Street. They, along with their two siblings ([[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] and [[Brian Johnson|Brian]] (deceased)) were born and raised in the Johnson House. Beverly continued to raise her three remaining children (Brian had died in 1987) in Grove Street, until her death during a drive-by shooting on her house. Her son, Carl, returns after leaving for Liberty City, and begins living in her house.
Sweet Johnson, although no longer living in the Johnson house, continues to live in Grove Street. The residence of Kendl Johnson is unknown, although it is possible that it remains in Grove Street. [[Lance "Ryder" Wilson]] and possibly [[Jeffrey "OG Loc" Cross]] live in Grove Street, and [[Melvin "Big Smoke" Harris]] had lived in Grove Street until moving to [[Idlewood]].
Grove Street, as the main strong hold for the Grove Street Families, comes under attack from [[Ballas]] gang members. One instance is the drive-by shooting that led to Beverly Johnson's death, and then during the mission [[House Party]]. Three waves of Ballas members attempt to take Grove Street, although they ultimately fail. However, following the arrest of Sweet and the forced re-location of Carl (by [[C.R.A.S.H.]]), Grove Street and all other Grove Street Family territories fall into the hands of the Ballas. This is helped by Ryder and Big Smoke, who had aligned themselves with the Ballas.

Sweet Johnson is later released (via [[Mike Toreno]]) and Carl returns, and together they re-claim Grove Street and Ganton for the Grove Street Families. Grove Street once again becomes the main stronghold of the Grove Street Families, who use Grove Street as a base for expanding into other districts (such as Idlewood). Following the acquittal of [[Officer Frank Tenpenny|Frank Tenpenny]], Grove Street residents (along with residents of Los Santos) begin rioting. Carl and Sweet manage to 'lockdown' Grove Street, and bring stability to Ganton. Grove Street serves as the place of death of Tenpenny, who dies after crashing a [[Firetruck]] off a bridge and into Grove Street.
