Formerly known as New Nanny Town, Moore Town was founded in 1740 when the Peace Treaty was signed between the British colonial authorities and the Windward Maroons.

In 1781 the initial 500 acres was augmented with another 500 acres, taking their communal land up to 1,000 acres. While Maroons and the British initially referred to this settlement as New Nanny Town, from 1760 the colonial authorities called it Moore Town or Muretown, when it was reportedly named after acting governor Sir Henry Moore. As of 2009 Moore Town has a reported population of 1,106. (en)
