    Colegrove is a thriving village, located on the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad.  The post-office there was presided over, up to 1880, by W. J. Colegrove, to whose efforts the establishment of an office at this point was due.  Jonathan Colegrove was the post master at Colegrove.  In 1883 the general mercantile business of W. J. Colegrove & Son was purchased by C. A. Anderson.  The Heinemann lumber industry and other lumber interests in the vicinity contribute principally to the trade of the village.  A pumping station of the National Transit Company was also located here.
