The population was 376 at the 2010 census, down from 401 in 2000. HistoryThe original town of Scales Mound was located at the base of an erosional remnant similar to Charles Mound, about a mile southwest of the present-day village. In 1830 Samuel Scales purchased the original village site from John Sole and built a tavern at the base of the mound along Sucker Trail, a major east-west corridor. The land that the present-day village of Scales Mound is on was purchased from the U.S. government in 1848 by a man named Dunning. Little is known about Dunning or the use of the land until the 1850s.[3] In 1851 the Illinois Central Railroad (ICRR) was established and it would become a major factor in the settlement of much of rural Illinois, including Scales Mound. In September 1853, anticipating the arrival of the railroad, the village of Scales Mound was platted by Josiah Conlee and B.B. Provost. During the summer of 1854 track crews from ICRR laid out {{convert|20|mi|km}} of track between Scales Mound and Apple River and trains were running the line the day after completion. With the arrival of the railroad, Scales Mound's first building was constructed in the late fall 1854; a store built by Sherman Eddy.[3] Demographics{{US Census population|1880= 311 |1900= 418 |1910= 388 |1920= 356 |1930= 348 |1940= 354 |1950= 385 |1960= 399 |1970= 382 |1980= 347 |1990= 388 |2000= 401 |2010= 376 |estyear=2016 |estimate=373 |estref=[4] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[5] }} As of the census[6] of 2000, there were 401 people, 164 households, and 108 families residing in the village.

GeographyLocationScales Mound lies at the northwestern tip of Illinois in Jo Daviess County, part of the Driftless Area. Scales Mound is located at {{Coord|42|28|41|N|90|15|2|W|type:city}} (42.478098, −90.250544)[7] near the highest point in Illinois, Charles Mound, and on the Stagecoach Trail. It has an annual festival, Stagecoach Trail days. According to the 2010 census, Scales Mound has a total area of {{convert|0.23|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all land.[8] TopographyScales Mound is located in a region of the U.S. Midwest known as the Driftless Area, so called because it escaped glaciation during the last ice age. Covering parts of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, the Illinois region is mostly limited to Jo Daviess County and small parts of Whiteside and Carroll County in northwest Illinois. The topography of the area is characterized by hilly terrain and wooded ridges. Common features found in the Scales Mound area include canyons, bluffs, ravines and palisades.[9] Near Charles Mound, the highest point in Illinois at 1235 feet, Scales Mound is said to be "At the Top of Illinois".[10] Climate{{Clear}}{{Weather box|location = Scales Mound, Illinois |single line = Y |Jan high C = −3 |Feb high C = 1 |Mar high C = 7 |Apr high C = 15 |May high C = 22 |Jun high C = 27 |Jul high C = 29 |Aug high C = 27 |Sep high C = 23 |Oct high C = 17 |Nov high C = 8 |Dec high C = 1 |Jan low C = −16 |Feb low C = −12 |Mar low C = −6 |Apr low C = 0 |May low C = 6 |Jun low C = 12 |Jul low C = 14 |Aug low C = 13 |Sep low C = 8 |Oct low C = 1 |Nov low C = −4 |Dec low C = −11 |Jan precipitation mm = 28.4 |Feb precipitation mm = 31.5 |Mar precipitation mm = 65.5 |Apr precipitation mm = 85.9 |May precipitation mm = 90.7 |Jun precipitation mm = 128.8 |Jul precipitation mm = 73.7 |Aug precipitation mm = 113 |Sep precipitation mm = 92.2 |Oct precipitation mm = 63.8 |Nov precipitation mm = 68.8 |Dec precipitation mm = 45 |source 1 = weather.com[11] |date=August 2010 }} Cityscape{{Empty section|date=June 2008}}EducationScales Mound has one K-12 school (high school included).
