History

A post office called Northmoor was established in 1927, and remained in operation until 1947.[4] The community's name is an amalgamation of Moore, the name of a first settler, and "north", a directional name relative to the community's location from Kansas City.[5]

On May 4, 2003 an F4 tornado ripped through the town, destroying several homes and causing extensive damage to the police station and to City Hall.[6] Despite the damage, no serious injuries were reported.
