The village sits at an elevation of 274 meters, featuring numerous buildings constructed in traditional Swiss architectural style throughout its streets and neighborhoods.
Two representatives from Glarus, Switzerland, Nicolas Duerst and Fridolin Streiff, selected 1,200 acres along the Little Sugar River in 1845 for Swiss immigrants.
