Facts for Renters
- The village was initially settled in the 1800s and soon became known for the bricks and tiles distributed by the Rapp & Brick Tile Works. The tiles became useful for the village. Residents used them to drain the area around Morton, which helped create a plethora of fertile farmland.
- Soon the tile business developed into a pottery industry that mainly created utensils and kitchenware. This business peaked until the 1950s.
- Morton then became known for growing pumpkins. A canning plant was soon developed and became incredibly beneficial for the community by providing jobs and boosting commerce. Today, the plant is owned by Nestle USA/Libby's. The massive company uses about 5,000 acres of land in the town to harvest and package pumpkins. More than 80 percent of the world's canned pumpkin is grown in fields in Morton.
