The Moore post office was established May 27, 1889, during the Land Run of 1889 and was named for Al Moore, an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway employee. According to the town history he was a \"conductor or a brakeman, lived in a boxcar at the camp and had difficulty receiving his mail. He painted his name \u2013 \"Moore\" \u2013 on a board and nailed it on the boxcar. When a postmaster was appointed, he continued to call the settlement Moore. When the town incorporated in 1893 the name was legalized.\"[6][7]<\/p><\/div>\n
