Welcome to Moors ...

So far, we found very little information about Moors. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Moors to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Moors - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Moors, please Contact Us.

While we don't have the exact location of Moors , we believe that it would have been located within present day Elko County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Moors, you might get a feel for it by knowing that the earliest mention that we've found (so far) was on a map dated 1883.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Moors, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
