History

Established in 1883.

Mount Saint Vincent was originally established as an orphanage by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kansas. In the late 1960s, orphanages were phased out in favor of the foster care system. Mount Saint Vincent transitioned into a residential treatment center for abused and neglected children in 1969.
