Welcome to the Mount Hope Discussion Board. READ FIRST!

Mt. Hope was laid out in 1827. Early settlers were impressed with the fertile soil, rolling land, and good water in the area. In 1841, according to records, Mt. Hope had one store, twelve houses, a post office, a school, and two churches. In 1843 H. D. Perky was born near Mt. Hope and, as an adult, he developed the first prepared breakfast food known as shredded wheat. He formed the Cereal Machine Company, later renamed the Shredded Wheat Company, which by 1900 was operating at Niagara Falls with Perky as president.
