History

Good Hope community sign

Good Hope was platted in 1849, although a small village had already existed there for some time. ^[4] The community is said to have derived its name from Good Hope, Pennsylvania, the native home of a share of the early settlers. ^[5] A post office was established at Good Hope in 1851, and remained in operation until 1965. ^[6]

It was only in 2012 that Good Hope had a waste treatment plant. ^[7]
