The Village of Mount Morris is at the northeastern entrance to Letchworth State Park, which contains a scenic gorge and triple waterfall on the Genesee River. The village is in the northern part of the Town of Mt. Morris.
History
The community was first called "Allen Hill" and "Richmond Hill" by early settler Ebenezer Allen.
The Village of Mount Morris was incorporated in 1835. It was then named after Robert Morris, the financier of the American Revolution, and later owner of The Morris Reserve, from which the lands around Mount Morris were sold to settlers. It was suggested that these lands were sold at unfairly low prices to friends of the Morris estate, in an attempt to create something akin to an oligarchical rule by landowners in the area.
A Saturday night explosion rocked a mid-Michigan community, and although no one was hurt, a building was leveled in the blast.

Tourist in Your Own Town #62 - Mount Morris Fire Watchtower
The Fire Watchtower within Marcus Garvey Park was constructed circa 1857, when cast iron towers gave firefighters a spot to look out for fires and ring bells to alert local fire companies. After pull boxes rendered the watchtowers obsolete, most were torn down, but in the 1870s neighbors successfully rallied to protect the tower.
Harlem residents worked again to prevent the watchtower’s demolition as part of a Robert Moses-era plan that flattened the tower’s hilltop location into a paved plaza. By the 1990's the structure was near collapse and sustained community activism inspired the City to fund a major restoration. All elements were carefully labeled and crated away. Some historic components were repaired while others were replicated in cast iron. It was finally restored and returned...

Rescued and celebrated, the tower is a rare example of early American cast iron frame construction, an early example of preservation advocacy, and a prized Harlem landmark.
