Mineral Point was established by William C. Inks in 1858 on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain, & Southern Railway.

During the Civil War in Washington County a battle took place at Mineral Point & much damage was done to the railroad & the town as well as many other places in Washington County. An excerpt from "Mayhem In Mineral Point" reads, "About 1:00 p.m. Mr. F. K. Boyd, a businessman residing at Mineral Point, saw 200 or more rebel cavalry approaching over the railroad from the south. They moved in rapidly paying no attention to the firing upon them by Federal pickets who withdrew........"
