Mount Vernon History

Originally a rest stop along Military Road, a well-traveled route between Dubuque and Iowa City, Mount Vernon was established in 1847 and named after President George Washington’s estate. The Iowa Conference Male and Female Seminary was founded in 1853 and later evolved into Cornell College, which remains a central part of the community today. Over time, Mount Vernon grew from a small frontier stop into a thriving college town known for its historic character, strong educational roots, and welcoming small-town atmosphere.
