History of Mt. Morris
 
  • In 1833, this territory was a part of Grand Blanc Township but was under Flint Jurisdiction.
  • In 1855 the State Legislature plotted the land as "Dover".
  • Mr. Fred Walker was the first settler here relocating from Mt. Morris, New York.
  • The name "Dover" was changed to Mt. Morris because 90% of the settlers were from Mt. Morris, New York.
  • In 1930, the city was officially chartered as Mt. Morris.
