The community has a sense of pride in preserving the town’s rich history. Yankees were the first to settle in Mount Prospect, establishing farms and prepping the land. However, it was the German immigrants, who later settled in Mount Prospect, who had the most significant impact on the Mount Prospect of today.
The train station that was built in the 1850s made the village blossom. The farming community grew, and stores and houses were built, creating a flourishing community that gained popularity with the growing population, a train station, and a train that stopped in town.
Mount Prospect was incorporated in 1917 and had a population of 300 people. The population continued to grow, forcing the town services and amenities to expand into the Mount Prospect known today.
