Elk Grove is a fictional city located in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is featured in the Starz horror/comedy series Ash vs Evil Dead. The city is presented as the home town of the show's hero, Ash Williams, as well as member of his supporting cast, including Pablo Simon Bolivar and Kelly Maxwell. State police officer Amanda Fisher operates in and/or near the Elk Grove area. Ruby Knowby has visited the town as well. Ash lives out of the Mossy Haven trailer park, where his closest neighbor was Vivian Johnson - or at least it was until she became possessed by malevolvent forces and transformed into a Deadite, at which point, Ash had to lop her head off with a chainsaw. These things happen. It's a sleepy little town.

Description[]

Elk Grove is one of the most notable towns in all of Kenward County, as this is the home of Ash Williams, and the late members of his family, father Brock, and sister Cheryl. Because Ash is prophecied to vanquish the Dark Ones, Elk Grove has become a veritable haven for the forces of the Evil Dead - demonic Kandarian spirits who possess the living, turning them into zombie-like creatures called Deadites. Ash's foray into battling these foes began more than three decades ago when he first came into the possession of the Necromonicon Ex Mortis - The Book of the Dead. During this affair, several of his friends had died, including his sister. The people of Elk Grove however, believed that Ash had gone insane and butchered his friends, thus earning him the unfavorable nickname "Ashy Slashy". Ash became a pariah in Elk Grove and everyone spoke his name with venomous hatred. Thirty years later, little had changed, and even the town's sheriff, Thomas Emery grew to hate him. Ultimately however, Ash not only defeated a recent incursion of Deadites, but also proved to the people of Elk Grove that he was innocent. He became the hero of the town and re-opened his late father's hardware store.
