Landscape Location of Moore, OK – Why was it located 9 miles • south of OKC and north of Norman in Cleveland County?. • Moore was a stop on the Southern Kansas RR in 1886 • It was part of the Unassigned Lands and the Land Run of 1899. • There was a watering hole there, which is why the RR stop was established. • A man who worked for the RR, named Al Moore, lived in a boxcar . • That’s why the name was changed from Verbeck to Moore. The “Minute City” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore,_Oklahoma In the 1970s Moore was nicknamed the Minute City” because of its close proximity and easy access to locations like Midwest City, Tinker AFB, O.U. Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, and York International. I-35 and USHW 77 run through its city limits. It is in the middle of “Tornado Alley. Most recent tornadoes were in 1998, 1999, 2003, 2010 and 2013.
