History edit
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]
