Mount Hope appeared on the 1880 U.S. Census as an unincorporated community of 94 residents. This was the only time it appeared on census rolls.
In 1985, Mount Hope High School was burned down, forcing students to watch the school burn down helplessly; most of the students were woken up from their sleep to watch their school burn down in the dark of midnight. Classes were temporarily held in the current Mount Hope School, which is deteriorating due to the nearby Hatton School System and Tharptown School Systems; the high school was never reconstructed. The town was again demolished by the Hackleburg-Phil Campbell tornado of 2011. The tornado was at EF5 intensity as it struck Mount Hope.
Mount Hope was the birthplace of Russell McWhortor Cunningham, acting governor of Alabama from 1904–1905.[2]
