Welcome to The Orange Grove Center!

Orange Grove is a private, non-profit organization serving adults and children with developmental disabilities. Orange Grove was established in 1953 by families of children with intellectual disabilities in Hamilton County, TN, who desperately needed educational services. Orange Grove now serves approximately 700 individuals, and employs approximately 750 professional staff members to provide a wide array of community services.
