Mt. Olive School District #57 was established to provide education to the children in the Mt. Olive area. Settlers of the second group that arrived from Kentucky to settle at Nicodemus in the spring of 1878 populated this area. Reverend Daniel Hickman, and Morris Bell who arrived with the first group established the school and named it after their former church in Kentucky. The one room building located near here on the north of this sign held classes from first through eighth grade. The school closed in 1945 when consolidation forced students in the area to attend school in nearby Bogue.
