Poplar Grove is a western neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah. It lies north of Glendale and south of Rose Park & Fair Park. It is the second largest neighborhood in Salt Lake City (after Glendale) and is often confused with Glendale. Poplar Grove broke off from Glendale in the 1990s,[citation needed] following Salt Lake City Neighborhood guidelines by submitting paperwork to the City Council for approval.Popular Grove existed as a neighborhood long before Glendale was created. It got its name from a grove of trees the Edwin Rushton family planted in the area that became known as "Popular Grove" in the late 1800s.
