This is the sign located at the north entrance to town on State Route 7.
The city was named after Benjamin Harrison's Vice President, Levi P. Morton, in 1889. Morton was incorporated on January 7, 1913.
The main source of revenue includes logging, with several lumber mills still working in the area.
Morton was once known as the "tie mill capital of the world" in the 1950's. The longest railroad tie dock in the world ran along the railroad tracks east of Morton.
