Moorefield

Moorefield is a small village in Wellington County with a population of 600 to 900 people and offers essential services for daily life. It has grocery stores, a post office, a fire station, and a school serving the local community.

The village started in the 1850s when Richard C. Moore and his family settled here and began building the community. The construction of St. John's Anglican Church was one of the first projects and shaped the early growth of the settlement.

St. John's Anglican Church stands at the center of the village's community identity, reflecting the denomination that took root when the settlement began. This church building remains a visual anchor for gatherings and local life.

The village is easy to navigate with good road access and parking near shops and public facilities. Visitors can find all necessary services and stores within walking distance of each other.

Richard C. Moore and his brother George started multiple businesses that became the economic foundation for the village's development. Their ventures created the base for the community structure that still stands today.
