History

Ulmer was platted on November 21, 1900 by Carrie and W.T. Martin. The community was established on the Illinois Central Railroad. [2]

A post office was established at Ulmer in 1901, [3] alongside the Chicago Central and Pacific Railroad. The Farmers State Savings Bank of Ulmer was founded in 1911. Circa 1914, Ulmer was also the site of a dry goods and grocery store, a hardware and grocery store, a blacksmithing shop, a grain elevator, a lumber company, a stock dealer, an implement store, and a pool hall. The only church was the Presbyterian church. [2]

In 1914, historian William H. Hart stated that Ulmer had made "a fine growth in its few years of existence." Ulmer's population was 127 in 1925, [4] and was 53 in 1940. [5]
