Moore Oklahoma was founded in 1889 during the famous Land Run. As with many small towns, the railroad brought business owners and families to develop their sleepy town.Moore was at first named Verbeck Oklahoma. It was named by the railroad company. However, a gentleman by the name of Al Moore was having difficulty receiving his mail, so he painted his last name on a box car close to where he lived and the post office natually called the town Moore. It stuck and it was legally changed to Moore in 1893. During the 1960’s and 70’s records indicate a huge increase in population and growth was at an all time high.
