Mount Morris is a city in Genesee County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

It was named after Mount Morris, New York, because many of the early settlers had come from there.

In 1836, Frederick Walker was the first to settle within the future village site.

A post office named Mount Morris was established on July 11, 1837, with Charles N. Beecher as the first postmaster.

The name of the office was changed to Genesee on January 19, 1839, and back to Mount Morris on April 25, 1857.

The settlement was first platted as Dover in 1862 and was incorporated as the village of Mount Morris in 1867.
