History

Moscow was laid out in 1832.[4] The community's name most likely was a transfer from Moscow, in Russia.[5] A post office was established at Moscow in 1827, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1907.[6]

The town was struck on June 3, 2008, by an EF3 tornado which destroyed its landmark 19th-century Moscow Covered Bridge over the Big Flatrock river.[7]
