Mott was founded in 1904 when territory was opened to settlers. [5] There are conflicting stories of how the city was named. One theory is the city was named for Lillian Mott, the secretary of the town promoter, while the competing theory say the city was named for C. W. Mott, a railroad employee. [6] A post office has been in operation at Mott since 1904. [7]
A distinctive symbol for Mott was the art deco arched "rainbow" bridge crossing the Cannonball River to the unincorporated area colloquially known as "West Mott". The arched bridge was damaged beyond repair in a 1997 flood.
